Ok I am pretty new to programming, but I know enough to make a text based game. Being text based, its pretty boring just sitting there and reading. I mean you get to decide what t odo on certain parts, but thats about it.
So I would like to add a music file to it, just to spice it up a bit. Does anyone know anywhere that has a good tutorial on how to do this? Or you could explain it here(which would probably take to long).

I would use an API like fmod (there are others but I can't remember them). FMod is really simple from what I remember.
Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

Also check out OpenAL.
FMOD is, IIRC, just a layer of abstration to DirectSound/DirectMusic.
You know what date is on this coin? 1958. It's been travelling twenty two years to get here.
And now it's here.
And I'm here.
And it's either heads or tails.
And you have to say...
Call it.
Perhaps the windows version. But the FMOD library is available for many platforms, including consoles (if your a registered developerOriginally Posted by BobMcGee123

I honestly did not know that about FMOD!

I just wonder, can you loop the sound using PlaySound()?

Ok I downloaded FMOD...and their help file kind of sucks. Being pretty new to programming, I may be missing something that makes it easy, but I dont know. Could anyone explain it to me(by like PMing me or something)? I dont need every little thing explained just like a 'big picture' thing would be nice.

I never miss an opportunity to link my favorite FMOD tutorial.
From C to shining C++!
Great graphics, sounds, algorithms, AI, pathfinding, visual effects, cutscenes, etc., etc. do NOT make a good game.
