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.
I'm not immature, I'm refined in the opposite direction.
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.

So, FMOD is pretty cool.
