| Post subject: | Multiple Sounds at the same time |
I understand that it is impossible to play more than one sound at the same time with Music.PlayFile, unless they are different types (midi, wav, or cd), but is there a workaround? Details that probably do not matter: I can code in other languages, but this is for a culminating (final project) in turing, so it won't work as such. Right now, you'd have to use a combination of Midi and wav. However, I don't know how to generate a midi file (I could do this, but would prefer a more elegant solution), and I have the wav files. I have to play two at the same time, for sure. The game I am making is space invaders, so I can't have static bg music, as it increases as the speed increases. I have to use Turing 4.0 I believe, but I don't think he'd get angry if I used Turing 4.1, as that's the freely available one. The only things I could think of is to call a seperate program that plays files (which may not be allowed), or just live with sounds truncating other sounds (which sucks, by the way). Thanks |

Convert using something like dBpoweramp, or another alternative.... the only other thing you could do is write a library (i believe it is C that Turing is Programmed in). And import it in... but it seems like a much waste of your time so it would be in your better interest i think just to change the audio type. |

why don't you go like this : process sound1 Music.PlayFile ("sound1.MIDI") end sound1 process sound2 Music.PlayFile ("sound2.WAV") end sound2 fork sound1 fork sound2 A lot of people don't like processes, but I've never run into any problems with them. |

Processes are fine for music, but for anything else it's bad. Processes are bad because it messes up your program flow, and because process aren't well implemented in Turing. |

In this case I would suggest threads/processes however always remember that as soon as multiple threads are playing with the same data things get complicated. |

Like said above, You can just make them processes so they can "Process at the same time!" P.S I understand that under my name says that I'm A newbe its becasue it's this account! |
