[nuno_owns]

im still stuck on what to do for my final. ive decided if possible i wanna make a media player of some description. kinda like winamp meets media player. im not very familiar with GUI and if possible ima research that bananas outta that. just seein what you guys think of this? also is it possible to have an EQ. like the frequncy sliders not just presets... i hate presets lol. anyway. thanks guys.

It is posible to make an ok media player in turing but you will have to write your own librays for loading video files and aduio files and manpulating them.

Turing on it's own can only play sound files and only has basic controls over them like start and stop.

This project whould hardly be easy to do and whould take alot of work if you whonted anything resabnably good or usefull. You will have to study how the mp3 codec works as well as how video codecs work and a tone of other complicated things.

if you are planning on taking on this project i would strongly suggest you take a good long look through the Turing Walkthrough, especially on points about playing music, etc, this will be a very difficult project (i did one, ill see if i can find it) and if you do undertake it be prepared to spend a few all nighters working on it to get it working perfectly

that was the kind of answers i expected. i think ill give it a try... my teacher understands that theres only 8 classes left and that if i can get somethin reasonable than hes happy.... what aboot the equalizer idea though.... is that even possible in turing? cause i think thats where id get most of my marks from

As i side above; there are no comands in turing for maplaitating the sound being played other then starting and stoping it. So the only way to do it whould learn how mp3 files work and right your own musick loader, decompers, anlyiezer and output system in turing. And you should have to do all this with the play note comands witch means only one note at a time so a best it whould only sound kind of like the song.
