Description
This is a cross-platform sound-playing package for Ada apps that can asynchronously start and stop music loops, as well as initiate transient sounds.
It plays WAV files, via OpenAL, on Windows, OSX, and linux platforms.
It is suitable for any Ada application that needs music, sound loops or transient sound effects; eg. games.
Usage:
See the simple interface description in file snd4ada.ads.
Generally, when you initialize a sound or soundloop, you specify its file name and retrieve an integer "key" that is used to play it sometime later.
Note: an error occurs if there is something fishy about the WAV file. I always get good results with WAV files output from, or processed through "sox".
========================================================
What is so great about this package?
This package is a non-platform-specific Ada code that compiles on Windows as well as OSX and Linux. It is now used in my two flagship games: AdaGate and AdaVenture (on GitHub & SourceForge).
========================================================
Ada Examples:
See ./adaExample/one.adb See ./adaExample/two.adb
The examples come with 3 compilation scripts: lcmp.sh, ocmp.sh, wcmp.bat
C++ Examples
See ./cppExample/two.cpp
This comes with scripts for linux and Windows. It shows how to use the Ada package from a C++ main.
