Thread: Help with SDL and Sounds

Yes I meant that. But its wrong because if no event is queued no sound will be played. There are alternatives...
But I feel so sleepy and can't think... I better go to bed. Good night!

Why it fills time_str with one unicode char 11 times?

Sorry but I should understand your code before doing anything to it.

One way is to make a provider and a consumer thread. Provider provides the sequence to be played by consumer thread.

I thought it would be hard for you. To find an easier way, I need a very clean code that I fully understand.

I mean why time_str has 11 chars?

Provider thread is a thread you write to set the time_str.

As you are filling that string yourself, there is no need to have a string at all. You can put it directly to an int.

I didn't tested it. Just a proposal.

Code:

    while (quit==0)
    {
        apply_surface(bg, screen,0,0);

        y=atoi(time_str);
        if (y<=0) y=1;

        if ((SDL_GetTicks()-timing) == (60000/y))
        {
        if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
        {

            //Quit Metronome
            if (event.type==SDL_QUIT)
            {
                quit=1;
            }
            //--------------------------------

            if (event.type==SDL_KEYDOWN)
            {
                SDL_EnableUNICODE(SDL_ENABLE);

                if (event.key.keysym.unicode>=(Uint16)'0' && event.key.keysym.unicode <=(Uint16)'9')
                {
                    if (x<11)
                    {
                    time_str[x]=(char)event.key.keysym.unicode;
                    x++;
                    text=NULL;
                    }
                }

                if (event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_RETURN)
                {
                    x=0;
                    while (x<11)
                    {
                    time_str[x]=' ';
                    x++;
                    }
                    x=0;
                    text=NULL;
                }


            }
            text=TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, time_str, textcolor);

        }
            Mix_PlayChannel(-1,clap,0);
            timing=SDL_GetTicks();
        }

        apply_surface(text, screen,0,0);

        SDL_Flip(screen);
    }

If SDL has an event queue maybe you need to call PumpEvents() just before if block in my last post.
