Re: logic for creating maps in python
Re: logic for creating maps in python So I thought I'd write you a little example to explain making a map file and a parser, then I realised that making parsers are a bitch.There's probably a few reasons to avoid parsers, but the main is validation.Say you create your map like @4 suggests, so you give each tile a numerical value. That's fine, but what if the map creator puts spaces between the characters? What if they type a letter instead of a number? or their number is out of range? What if they don't fill out the entire map? Do you fill the extra space with a "default" tile? Do you allow the map creator to specify the default?Better to make something like a command line (or GUI) based map editor, then dump the created maps using a language like YAML, or JSON.Then you can ignore validation errors, because if the person who created the map decides to fart about with the resulting map file, it's their loss when your program breaks.I've included a MAP file created with my own fledgling editor. As I'm sure you'll agree, it's quite complex, and not something you'd want to code by hand. That said, maps are complicated. If they're not, then they're simplistic. I'd wager that many of the best people for map creating are some of the worst for coding. Give them a lovely easy to use editor, and you'll be laughing.maps: - ambiances: - sound: ambience\Lake.wav x: 0 y: 0 z: 0 default_surface_id: G7as96Ymnv3GczoWYaDBg5 directions_2d: - north - north-east - east - south-east - south - south-west - west - north-west footstep_length: 0.5 id: GQsnkuaqDQyZaNSphBVeAz max_x: 200 max_y: 200 start_facing: 0 start_x: 0 start_y: 0 terrains: - end_x: 5 end_y: 5 start_x: 0 start_y: 0 surface_id: 6oFmgzkuYRAyrBc9HSXbfo title: narrow path - end_x: 2 end_y: 2 start_x: 2 start_y: 2 surface_id: WRi82wWTpTmofhJgExnW9U title: stone plaque title: Darkrise Forest turn_amount: 45 wall_sound: wall.wav - ambiances: [] default_surface_id: 6oFmgzkuYRAyrBc9HSXbfo directions_2d: - north - north-east - east - south-east - south - south-west - west - north-west footstep_length: 0.5 id: grQdN4HHzZrnoCf8aCyzUt max_x: 200 max_y: 200 start_facing: 0 start_x: 0 start_y: 0 terrains: [] title: Darkrise Village turn_amount: 45 wall_sound: null surfaces: - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\catwalk\Station1.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station2.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station3.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station4.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station5.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station6.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station7.wav - Surfaces\catwalk\Station8.wav id: CAndNXQagb39XMoTJUHtdP title: Catwalk - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\concrete\Room1.wav - Surfaces\concrete\room2.wav - Surfaces\concrete\room3.wav - Surfaces\concrete\Room4.wav id: 6oFmgzkuYRAyrBc9HSXbfo title: Concrete - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\duct\Duct1.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct2.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct3.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct4.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct5.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct6.wav - Surfaces\duct\Duct7.wav id: Le52wgjqrWr8Usq3N7ekKb title: Duct - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\grass\Grass1.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass2.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass3.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass4.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass5.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass6.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass7.wav - Surfaces\grass\Grass8.wav id: G7as96Ymnv3GczoWYaDBg5 title: Grass - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship1.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship2.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship3.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship4.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship5.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship6.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship7.wav - Surfaces\gridwork\Ship8.wav id: ZRhdNKbjyeVtoz4crS7U3W title: Gridwork - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\grit\Grit1.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit2.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit3.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit4.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit5.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit6.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit7.wav - Surfaces\grit\Grit8.wav id: WRi82wWTpTmofhJgExnW9U title: Grit - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\mud\Mud1.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud2.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud3.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud4.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud5.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud6.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud7.wav - Surfaces\mud\Mud8.wav id: CHMucvz9w2XCfP46mhcH9F title: Mud - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\sand\Sand1.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand2.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand3.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand4.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand5.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand6.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand7.wav - Surfaces\sand\Sand8.wav id: HBDBgnq9TJikXdG8Aa6xWk title: Sand - footstep_sounds: - Surfaces\water\Water1.wav - Surfaces\water\Water2.wav - Surfaces\water\Water3.wav - Surfaces\water\Water4.wav id: bRD7uk6MWMG3keqAZQSwKv title: Water title: Darkrise URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/562703/#p562703 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com

console.log(player.naime) // UndefinedCan't be sure though.MyPy under Python would definitely catch that, if you typed the class properly:class Player:

rank: str
def __init__(self, name: str, rank: str):
self.name = name
self.rank = rank
p: Player = Player('Chris', 'Awesome')

Re: Earwax
Re: Earwax
@19What piece is missing?@19I'd be lying if I said I understand your whole post. I'm going to read over it a few times to fully grasp the stuff you're on about (I've never heard of Cassowary for example), and I also think there is a big part of this that involves me analysing my own feelings.My instant response is "but a tile editor lets everyone make games and a solution that involves code raises the entry requirements in a way I'm not entirely comfortable with". I do stand by that, and my eventual solution was always going to be a rudimentary compiler of sorts: It'll take the objects created by the tile editor and turn them into code. In fact the whole of Earwax's building systems will work like that.You'll make your game and levels ETC, then the `build` command will turn them into:from earwax import Game, GameLevelgame = Game()
level_1 = GameLevel('Forest', game, id='asdf;lkj')
#...
levels = {
'asdf;lkj': level_1,
#...
}So there'll be no runtime parsing of anything. You'll just end up with a probably ugly - but hopefully working - python file you can run with `python game.py`.Also eventually a `compile` command that'll build, then run pyinstaller and pass it all the assets from the sounds folder ETC.Anyways, I'm digressing.I'll have a bash at your solution, if you don't mind me pinching the premise (crediting you of course)? I'll see how far I get, and hopefully by the time you want to create your MMO, most of the building system will be already written.What do you think of the idea of your Box class et al being put into a separate Python package? Maybe I'm not thinking through this enough, but it would seem if it's a system we both intend to use, it would be silly to write separate implementations. Plus, that gives you the advantage that - way down the line - people could use Earwax to build local versions of maps they chuck to your MMO for inclusion.With ambiances, do you have a suggested solution? I mean it would seem to be a problematic one, because the ambiance will have to either emit from all 4 corners of the box (might cause phasing issues), or you'd need to calculate the nearest coordinate on the ambiance grid to your player.

Re: Earwax
Re: Earwax I agree with both of you. Personally I quite like tile editors for quickly chucking together a level, but Camrlorn's right in so much as coming back to something later on is a little difficult.

For anyone who's following this topic, Earwax now works with Game controllers.You can include buttons and hat positions in your actions:@level.action('Go left', symbol=key.A, hat_direction=hat_directions.LEFT)
...
@level.action('Fire weapon', symbol=key.SPACE, joystick_button=0)
...Only thing is I tried to reset the version on PyPi, since it's probably not production ready, and thanks to me autistically sticking to semantic versioning, we were already on version 9. Anyways, that didn't work, so it's actually impossible to install from Pypi thus far.I doubt that's a problem since I suspect I'm the only person using it.

Both free and restricted movement commands are already implemented.The ability to add actions to earwax.Level instances with keyboard keys, mouse buttons, joystick buttons, and joystick hat positions.A text-to-speech system.An earwax command which can currently create default games.Feature RequestsIf you need a feature that is not already on this list, please submit a feature request.The following block of code is what is created with the command earwax new:"""A game created by `earwax new test.py` on 2020-10-01 05:29:35.902580."""

I'm writing in Python, but I guess you could use this in any language.So if you've got a list of items you want to cycle through, it's obvious to go:current_index += 1 if current_index >= len(l): current_index -= len(l) elif current_index < 0: # We can probably scroll back too. current_index += len(l) # Do stuff.Seems there is a quicker way, which seems to be foolproof, as well as a 1-liner:current_index = (current_index + 1) % len(l) # Do stuffThis works because the % operator does modulus, which is to say it returns the remainder of trying to shove the number on the left into the number on the right: 10 % 3 is 1, because 3's into 10 go a maximum of 3 times, with 1 left over.Back to lists, given the listlike:>>> l = ['first item', 'second item', 'third item'] >>> l[0 % len(l)] 'first item' >>> l[1 % len(l)] 'second item' >>> l[2 % len(l)] 'third item' >>> l[3 % len(l)] 'first item' >>> l[-1 % len(l)] 'third item' >>> l[-2 % len(l)] 'second item'My world has officially been rocked.

Re: Earwax
Re: Earwax @61Thank you. I think it is, but that could be because I wrote it haha. I'd really love for some people to try using it, and see how far they get.Eventually I'd like to code a basic tile editor so people can build levels and have them converted into Python so that they can bind events and basically provide a minimal-code environment for audio game creation.That's a bit of a pipe dream currently though, primarily because I'm actually not all that clever, and I'm trying to fight with stuff I barely understand.

Re: Console debugging under Windows
Re: Console debugging under Windows Nope. Worst I can say with VSCode is that sometimes I press the up or down arrow key and braille shows the new line, while speech says the one I moved off.I'm sure that's more because this laptop is older than some of the programmers on this forum, and needs replacing.I'm sure there's some kind of psychosomatic thing that happens when switching to a new platform: You say how Linux is dead easy, and I've agreed with you when Ubuntu 6.10 rocked my world. These days, I get nothing but crashes and weirdness, same with OS X. Maybe it's because I expect them to fail? Maybe we should all go read up on the secret.

Re: Require Tolk.py assistance Well, for a kick off, what if you're running the code as a script, not from the directory with the DLL in it?

Re: help getting started in Python
Re: help getting started in Python Hi mate,So start off with stuff that's much simpler. I learnt from a book called "Learn Python The Hard Way", which I - paradoxically - found relatively easy.I mean, you're still learning an entirely new language, but it worked for me at least.Unlike BGT, Python isn't designed exclusively for audio games, so my irritating-sounding advice is to leave off thoughts of creating games for a good long time. If this were cooking, you'd be at the stage where you don't even know what a toaster is yet, and you're talking about making english-style pancakes, with flipping.Make some command line program, something that prints the sum of two numbers on the command line, something that prints the contents of a file, then alter those programs to take command line arguments, rather than hard coding the values.When you get there - because I hate hiding information from people - save yourself a lot of bother and use a game library.On the mainstream front, you've got Pyglet, and Pygame.If you want modules specifically for audio games, you've got Lucia, and Earwax.Honestly, there's a lot of work before you can even make use of the docs from the above packages, so enjoy the journey, and try not to rush yourself. You'll get to games in good time, but the more you bang your head against consepts that you'll ultimately struggle with, the longer it'll take.Probably do yourself a favour too, and install something like Notepad++, or Notepad2.There's definitely more powerful editors out there, chief among them is VSCode, but you won't need that power until you've started working with multiple files, and you're past the basic Hello world programs.For what it's worth, I don't care how old you are. If you want to learn, you go ahead and learn mate.Good luck, and let us know if you need help. Although try and Google first, because Googling is most definitely the first skill every programmer needs.

Re: How Did You Guys Learn to Code
Re: How Did You Guys Learn to Code I think finding something as an end goal that you want to achieve is really helpful.For me it's this idea of VR, for you it might be washing machine firmware. Don't think it really matters.Break it down into smaller chunks, and hack away on it.Think of a chair: It's got a frame, which is made up of a material, then it's connected together with screws, or rivets, or welds or whatever. It's got a flat surface that you sit on, that could be wood, or more metas, or broken glass (if you're into that sort of thing). It usually has a covering, which is stitched or stapled or glued around the edge, then it may have a back, which is more frame-like stuff, possibly covered in more material stuff.Point is, the whole world is made up of modular bits that form cohesive wholes. Bits can be re-used: bikes, cars, trucks, trains, fire engines, and unicycles all have wheels. Think of the world, and the things you're making in terms of these little bits, and then you can start to break down your coding problems.I read a thing in an objective C book (I never finished learning objective C, in case you care). The author said how their young son was routinely confused by life, and didn't let it bother him. The author asserted that as we get older, we feel more clever, because we are confused less. They postulated that that wasn't necessarily the case, that adults simply avoid situations and ideas that confuse them.So try and be a child. Be happy with your confusion. Revel in the fact that every time you solve a problem, the grey blob in your head forms new connections, and you've just made yourself that little bit better at something.Also, and I know this one sounds a bit daft, but for me it's essential: if you have a partner that understands, that's a massive help! My wife knows nothing about programming, and doesn't want to, but sometimes when she gets the impression that I'm struggling, she'll ask me what the problem is. I explain it to her, as briefly and as unboringly as possible, and it actually helps a lot, to stop thinking like a coder for a while. Also, she accepts that sometimes I go into my head for days, and hardly talk, or forget to eat, and she's cool with that. I'm extremely lucky, and I hope that I repay the favour. But point is, coding is a very insular activity: I read somewhere you need a good 20-30 minutes to "get into the zone", and it's extremely easy to pop out, necessitating another 20-30 minutes to re-enter the zone. If you plan to start (or keep hold of) a relationship, having a person who understands can be so beneficial. Just make sure you do your bit too! Anyways, didn't mean to give relationship and coding advice all in one post, but there you have it. Hope it helps... or something.

WebAudio question
WebAudio question Hi all,I'm suspecting my googling hasn't worked more because I don't know what to google for, rather than because the information isn't out there, so feel free to tell me what to look for, rather than fixing my code.So I've got a webaudio listener, and I'm trying to pan sounds around it. Using the formula from Aprone's panning tutorial, movement seems to work fine on the player side, but sounds pan strangely. When they should be behind me, they sound off to the left and right for example.The code I've got is below. A couple of things I don't understand though, and probably should:- What "format?" is the web audio listener position in? I've read the AudioListener position docs, but there doesn't seem to be anything as simple as a "degrees to position" formula.- Should I be setting AudioListener.position*, or AudioListener.front*?The code below - as you'll see - was copied from Stack Overflow. Honestly, I have no clue what I'm doing with these numbers. Once they're set, I'll just forget about it.If I'm doing something terminally stupid by not understanding the values I'm manipulating, please feel free to direct me somewhere to educate myself. I'm not sure how useful the rest of trig (I don't even know how big the rest of trig is) would be to me, but if folks say I should know it, I'm more than happy to swat up.// Code modified from // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PannerNode/orientationX // // convert degrees to radians and offset the angle so 0 points towards the listener final double radians = (value - 90) * (pi / 180); // using cosine and sine here ensures the output values are always normalised // i.e. they range between -1 and 1 final double x = cos(radians); final double z = sin(radians); // we hard-code the Y component to 0, as Y is the axis of rotation listener.forwardX.value = x; listener.forwardY.value = 0; listener.forwardZ.value = z;Thanks so much in advance.

Re: WebAudio question
Re: WebAudio question
OK... After thinking about what you'd said, I adjusted my coordinatesInDirection to the following, which gives slightly better results:Point coordinatesInDirection(Point start, double direction, {double distance = 1.0}) {
final double rads = direction / 180.0 * pi;
final double x = start.x + (distance * sin(rads));
final double y = start.y + (distance * cos(rads));
return Point(x, y);
}is that any closer to the right answer?Things are to the left and right when they should be, but I can't tell if stuff is in front or behind. Not sure if that's my ears, or Webaudio's inherent limitations. Also, when I get close to stuff, even if I'm facing it directly, it seems to slew off to one side.Thanks much.

I am going for FPS-style, so I do believe HRTF is what I want.Everything actually seems to be working now I've applied the formulas you gave me, and the stuff I put in @4.I set the up vector when I first instantiate the listener, so yes, it's getting done.Thank you both so much for your help.

Re: WebAudio question
Re: WebAudio question
@2Thanks so much for that.So the code I have now, which I believe to be right from your instructions is: set theta(double value) {
_theta = value;
final double rads = value / 180.0 * pi;
sounds.listener
..forwardX.value = sin(rads)
..forwardY.value = cos(rads)
..forwardZ.value = 0;
}Does that look OK to you? The double . is Dart's cascade notation. It's still not panning the way I'd expect. As I turn my virtual back to an object, it moves to the left. Ahead objects are to the right. It's like that no matter which direction I walk in.The other thing is, if Aprone's trig is wrong, does that mean my function for getting the coordinates in a particular direction is also wrong? That could account for the panning being off.Point coordinatesInDirection(Point start, double direction, {double distance = 1.0}) {
final double x = start.x + (distance * cos((direction * pi) / 180));
final double y = start.y + (distance * sin((direction * pi) / 180));
return Point(x, y);
}Finally, I'm not planning to let the listener move their head. From what you're saying, that would blow my tiny mind in unimaginary ways.Thanks again, I really appreciate all the help.

Re: am i choosing write way of producing stuf?
Re: am i choosing write way of producing stuf? @4You can put _test at the end too, so you can navigate through files and functions more easily.Admittedly, I always name my functions starting with test_, but that's because I'm a creature of habit mor than anything else.@1If you're asking about the canonical way of doing stuff, then what the others have said is right. Your file structure should look something like this:module_name __init__.py folder 1 __init__.py file_1.py file_2.py ... file_1.py file_2.py ...tests __init__.py first_test.py second_test.py ...Of course, the files names don't matter, apart from the __init__.py, which Python likes to have in your module directories, especially the tests directory, where py.test looks for tests.Again, a +1 from me for py.test. It's what I use, and it gives you lots of nice stuff like:py.test --pdbDrops you into the Python debugger if something fails so you can test code with a REPL.

Re: Programming language groups for the blind community
Re: Programming language groups for the blind community Just Bing it?Haha, only joking. I have no clue, sorry mate. There used to be a blind-programmers group on Google Groups. Not sure if that one is still active though.Generally, once you've picked your language of choice, there's support groups for that particular language.Don't forget, for text-based programming languages - even the horrible ones like C, the act of writing code is always accessible; it's text after all. Your mileage will of course vary with things like IDEs, and compilation tools. I've heard that XCode is its own special kind of hell.Also, there's Stack Overflow et al for your questioning needs. Not specifically blind focussed obviously, but their aim is to answer all possible programming questions, and I've seen lots of a11y-related programming questions answered with great alacrity.

Re: Can any one please help me with this bullet class, python?
Re: Can any one please help me with this bullet class, python?
A couple of possibilities:Firstly, you should probably use constants or an enum for directions, so you can't mistype, and therefore skip the if statements concerning directions. If you're not going to do that, at least do:if direction == "right:
# Whatever.
elif direction == "left":
# Whatever.
else:
raise NotImplementedError(f"Direction {direction} is invalid.")The other thing, is your penultimate line. I'm wondering, if you're using >= to check the x coordinate, will that still work if your bullet is moving down the x coordinate, as in to the left?HTH,

Earwax
Earwax Hi all,I've been working on a game library for my own use for a bit now, and thought it was maybe time to let the rest of the community loose with it.It's the library I used to make my Lucky Thirteen game, and I'm kind of expanding it as I need new features.Sound is pretty limited honestly, it uses Synthizer behind the scenes (although you could change that), but I haven't bothered abstracting much of it away yet, because I'm not sure what I need.Everything's documented, although I've not got a readthedocs page or anything like that. That is something I will look into, just not tonight.Anyways, the code can be found here, and of course you can pip install earwax.There's an example in the repo, or you can check out the Lucky Thirteen source if you want something bigger.I'll keep this thread for questions, suggestions or whatever else.If you've found a problem (I'm sure there's many), or you've got a well thought out issue, feel free to submit an issue.

Re: best python compiler
Re: best python compiler HiI personally use Pyinstaller.It can do a single file (which I wouldn't recommend), or a folder.Just be aware that it doesn't do things like sounds without you telling it to. Check pyinstaller -h for details.FYI, you can't use a single file if you're including DLLs, or assets like sounds.There's also py2exe, but I found that required more configuration, and you had to write your own setup.py file, rather than Pyinstaller, which lets you use the command line script to build a .spec file, which it then uses for the actual build process.HTH.

Re: Can any one please help me with this bullet class, python? @10It's anything you want it to be. Maybe you're building a splinter missile that turns from 1 bullet into 10 when it moves past 2 tiles, maybe it's a subspace warp-enabled battle-bastard torpedo, and it should vanish as soon as it's fired, and only re-appear when it's about to hit it's target.Honestly, you can do whatever you like.Once you realise that stuff in games is rarely magic, you can stop being afraid of stuff. I mean, a magic spell in a game is probably an instance of a Spell class, with a custom animation, sound, whatever.

Re: Handling Input in Pyglet
Re: Handling Input in Pyglet @4I think your question is twofold, so I'll answer it as such:Firstly, for key repeat in a game, what you want to do is this:When the key is pressed that you want to repeat, remember that it's been pressed, so you can stop it firing in on_key_release or whatever it's called.Next, run your function once. You do that, because the next step won't happen for a while.Thirdly, make a call to pyglet.clock.schedule_interval, with the interval you want. With my Earwax library, you can modify the interval on a key, so you can change how often a player can move for example. The change won't be acknowledged until the key is pressed again, but you can do it.Finally, as I hinted above, when the key is released, you use pyglet.clock.unschedule, to stop the function being called again and again. Also, don't forget to undo whatever flag you used in step 1.Now onto the next point about text editing, don't use key handling for that. There is a much better way, using Pyglet's Text and Motion events.They'll give you OS-dependant stuff. Again, earwax can do all that with its Editor class, if you don't fancy implementing the whole thing yourself.Reason I've not pushed Earwax much until now, is it's fairly new. I've not done anything for mice or gamepads yet, but it'll work for what you're trying to do, then you can submit bugs!

Re: best accessible IDE
Re: best accessible IDE
@9Surely it would have been quicker to google than to ask here.@7I was confused when I first used it, so here's a rundown:In VSCode (called Code from here on out), you tend to open folders, rather than files (although you can open single files if you like).There's two main ways to open files: The explorer (Control Shift E), and Search files by name or whatever they call it (Control P like print).When you're in the files, there's a whole load of great ways to get around. Here's my favourites:To jump to specific symbols (class or function definitions and probably other things), press Control Shift O.If you've focused on a line like:print(f(1))With your cursor placed on "f" (which presumably is a function name in your code base), you can press F12 to jump to its definition.You can launch terminals with Control ' (apostrophe), and view all keyboard shortcuts (which you can search) with Control K, Control S. As in, you press Control K, then press Control S.You can move to the next problem or warning with F8, and the previous with Shift F8.If you forget all of these, press Control Shift P, and you get a list (searchable of course) of every command in the program. In that list, search for Python for example. You can select your environment (virtualenv for example), and run various stuff.A useful one in there (that I haven't bothered binding to a hotkey) is show notifications (found by searching for notification or anything less). There you tend to get useful stuff that you only need once, like the offer to install the Python extension when you first open a Python file.I've just started looking into tasks. If you've got a project you're writing in VSCode, it'll put a .vscode folder in the project tree. Here's my tasks.json file as an example, so you can see how I run my example.py file from the build tasks list (Control Shift B):{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"command": "env\\scripts\\python.exe",
"args": [
"example.py"
],
"type": "shell",
"group": "build",
"label": "Run Example Script",
"problemMatcher": []
}
]
}Finally, extensions (the market place is on Control Shift X) is a great place to find stuff you want to use.Hope this helps.

Re: help with sound_lib in python
Re: help with sound_lib in python
I don't want t be "that guy", but sound_lib is terrible as far as documentation goes.From memory, you can set is_looping on streams, which you get with something like:from sound_lib.output import Output
from sound_lib.stream import FileStream
output = Output() # Just keep this lying around.
f = FileStream(file='whatever.wav')
f.is_looping = True
f.play()I've not tested that, so please don't take it for granted.A little bit of code I use all the time though:sorted(x for x in dir(whatever) if not x.startswith('_'))That's a really quick way of seeing all the members of a thing.HTH.
