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.
Also check out OpenAL.
FMOD is, IIRC, just a layer of abstration to DirectSound/DirectMusic.
Perhaps the windows version. But the FMOD library is available for many platforms, including consoles (if your a registered developer :( )Quote:

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. ;)
So, FMOD is pretty cool.
@ Sircrono: do u know how to loop the FSOUND_stream?
Nevermind, found it!!!
