    Play Sound in a game..

    hi,

    i'm making the game battleship..and i have used the playsound function to include .wav files in my program...

    for example...an explosion when a ship is hit, etc.

    BUT i wanted to know how to use this function to have say a song play the entire duration of the program. I assume theres a way and it would just loop the song over and over again correct?

    If someone can help me w/ this it would be great!

    i use windows XP, and microsoft.net console applications in C++.

    THANKS!

    i know this, i'm friends w/ vanished...my question is a little different..maybe i didnt' explain it enough..

    i want to have say a song play throughout the whole program..and loop over and over. The problem is, there are other sounds that may interrupt this original sound.

    What i need to know is if there is a way to still loop that song over and over and also have other sounds occur during that same time slot?

    HELP!

    Whats wrong with
    play_sound(file,SND_SYNC) and
    play_sound(songfile,SND_LOOP | SND_ASYNC)? The only problem with that I know is that play_sound only play .wav files.
    Don't you dare hit me on the head, you know I'm not normal.

    Could you post how you're using PlaySound(); ???
    You should be able to play a sound without intterupting
    the other sound(s)
