Sounds good
Roland Waddilove shows how to add
sampled sound effects to your programs
SAMPLED sound effects make a tremendous difference to programs, particularly
games where they are already extensively used. How can you add these superb
sounds to your own programs?
First you need a source of samples and over the coming months you'll find
several on each Atari ST User Cover Disk. There are four this month and there
will be more next month so you'll soon build up a library of exciting effects.
To replay the samples you'll need a suitable utility - which you'll also
find on this month's Cover Disk. Double click on SAMPLE.PRG and use the file
selector to pick the sound you want to play, choose the speed from the options
in the Alert box and turn up the volume on your monitor to hear the effects.
The source code, written in HiSoft BASIC, is also on the disk so you can
load this, modify it and then insert the relevent sound replay section in your
own programs.
