Playing a midi file in the background and having it loop

PHP God · **Posted:** Mon May 26, 2003 5:17 pm

I am making a game, and I made some midi files for it. How can I make the music loop continuosly throughout, while allowing the user to toggle it.

put it into a process. fork the process on command from the user.

end loop

fork play

process music
Music.PlayFile ("intro.mp3")

Music.PlayFile ("loop.mp3")
end loop

fork music

code:

process bg_sound
loop
Music.PlayFile("yourfile.wma")
end loop
end bg_sound

fork bg_sound

it prolly din work because turing doesnt read MP3 files..only wma...or something like that...im not sure...i've never used songs in my proggiez

I know wave files are huge, but they are what turing reads the best, i suggest using them.
