Play music as background music?

[Lekegolo killer]

hello good ppl of compsci can anyone tell me if i can take this music i ripped out of the submissions section and turn it into background music?

Turing:

%halo theme music% loop play(">2ef+gf+4a2gf+1e2b>c+dc+<4a>2c+<b2< b>dega1f+2egf+ef+d1e") play("<<8eee>>1e<<8eee>>1f+<<8eee>>1g<<8eee>>1a8eaeag1f+") play("<<8eee>>1e<<8eee>>1f+<<8eee>>1g<<8eee>>1a8eaeag1f+<") end loop

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

code:

run it as a process. Might not be efficient, but it works.

code:

process music    %halo theme music% loop     play(">2ef+gf+4a2gf+1e2b>c+dc+<4a>2c+<b2< b>dega1f+2egf+ef+d1e")     play("<<8eee>>1e<<8eee>>1f+<<8eee>>1g<<8eee>>1a8eaeag1f+")     play("<<8eee>>1e<<8eee>>1f+<<8eee>>1g<<8eee>>1a8eaeag1f+<") end loop end music fork music

I maybe wrong, but I think the new version of turing have more music playing support so that you do not need to use fork. Check the F10 of the newer versions of turing or the turing walkthough

Fork is a no-no.

The suggested implementation is to use Music.PlayFileReturn

[Nick]

@syntax_error normally yes, avoid processes, but in this case, no, it's the only solution

@Tony that only accepts a music file, not support of the play procedure, and IIRC it makes use of processes

the only way to run background music in Turing is via a process

[Tony]

@Nick -- you are right, I think PlayFileReturn is an equivalent of the fork'ed syntax. It's just cleaner to write.

Since the notes being played are static, they could be put into an external program and compiled to a music file to be played.

[Nick]

a quick look proves the process

code:

var playFileStopped : int := 0     process PlayFileLoopProc (fileStr : string)         external function error_last : int         var startPlayFileStopped : int := playFileStopped         loop             PlayFile (fileStr)             exit when error_last not= 0             exit when startPlayFileStopped not= playFileStopped         end loop     end PlayFileLoopProc ...     procedure PlayFileReturn (fileStr : string)         fork PlayFileReturnProc (fileStr)     end PlayFileReturn

I am going to admit that i am a programing noob and i have no idea what half of what you guys are saying means, im just gunna copy and paste this code untill i find a bit that works.

[ecookman]

basically youneed to create a process that makes the sound


if you have turing 4.1


you don't need the processes...therre is a function that does it...but i can't remember what it is .... use f10

[andrew.]

@ecookman: That command (Music.PlayFileReturn) has already been said and it can't work because he/she is playing notes not an actual music file. He/she has to use processes to play music in the background. Also, you don't need Turing 4.1 to do processes. You can do it with the older 4.0.x versions. I haven't used any Turing older than that but I suppose it is supported there too.

@OT: Here is how you use a process:

Turing:

process playMusic     Music.Play ("CEG") %Put the notes for your song here end playMusic fork playMusic % The rest of your program.

thx guys!!!!!
