[zzt++-progress] zzt++ v0.8.44 -- Sound Manager

[W. B. <wbo...@an...>]

Hi,

before long zzt++ version 0.8.44 will be released on planetzztpp as well as
on sourceforge. most exciting fact is that the new version will include
speaker sound!

after stabalizing the timer routines, writing the sound code became easy. i
wrote the base for it in one night. right now the music string interpreter
is in the making. it will translate strings like "q-c#d+f#ah.e" into notes
that will be played automatically. simply by calling the method
SM.PlayTune(string), the tune will be played over the speaker.

also based on the the timer routines an internal profiler will be included
in version 0.8.45. the profiler will tell me how much time is spent in
zzt++'s functions. something tells me that most of the time will be spent
'busy waiting'.
