this is the wait function

Code:

void wait ( int seconds )
{
  clock_t endwait;
  endwait = clock () + seconds * CLK_TCK ;
  while (clock() < endwait) {}
  
}

Code:

void wait ( double seconds ) 
{
  clock_t endwait;

  endwait = clock () + seconds * CLK_TCK;
  while (clock() < endwait);
}

If you change it to the above. A question though, is CLK_TCK 1000?

now you can say - wait( 0.5 ), and it'll work ... hopefully

EDIT ::

Also, here's a REALLY simple timing class I made before - http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showp...4&postcount=10

To use it, do something like this

Code:

TimeIt TimeForBeep;
for ( limits )
{
  TimeForBeep.StartTimer();
  // your beep stuff here
  TimeForBeep.EndTimer();

  wait( 1 - TimeForBeep.GetTime() );

  cout<< "Whatever";

  TimeForBeep.Clear(); // Not really needed I suppose
}

If I understand correctly you need to make your program wait the exact length of each Beep so that it is relatively right, but if you want you could use multi-threading to doit as well, that is if you want to make somehting like a audio mixer or something, and thanks for fixing my mistake in my first post twomers ( geeze i cant type today)

i cant remember what the CLK_TCK is but i think it is 1000

says there is an error with

Code:

endwait = clock () + seconds * CLK_TCK;

What's the error, peckitt99?

Also, look at my edit on my previous post.

it says

[warning] assignment

sorry bout all the questions im actually new to this n gotta learn it since im doing computing forensics in uni, lol

**twomers** · 09-04-2006

It's warning you cause the types are different. ints doubles and clock_t's

You have a few options, revert to an int, but instead of having seconds, use miliseconds, so 500 would be half a second ect.

Code:

void wait ( int miliseconds ) 
{
  clock_t endwait;

  endwait = clock () + miliseconds
  while (clock() < endwait);
}

Or cast the result. I think the above is a better option.

ah right ok thanx,

ill give it all ago n see if i can get it to work.

thanks for all your help

**peckitt99** · 09-04-2006

for some reason it dont like wait(0.5). says there is a warning with the passing.

**twomers** · 09-04-2006

Are you using the milisecond version? If so, say - wait( 500 ); 0.5 is full seconds, remember.

With the portability thing though I am sure I saw that your code was using (or you were going to use) system ("CLS") making it un-portable so therefore it is a lot easier to use Sleep ();

Windows Console Option. Still using windows, but after that, use option 5

**peckitt99** · 09-04-2006

yeah i have changed it to 500 but it still cant play both at the same time it is always waits for one to finish before doing something again.

**twomers** · 09-04-2006

Course it does! Those functions aren't asynchronous! Sorry, I thought I'd expressed as much in an earlier post. I don't know any asynch functions to play sound.
