Re: How to Handle Sounds in BGT

Re: How to Handle Sounds in BGT Just what I said. Since this menu class is closed, you can't just catch addiional keystrokes inside the run() loop as you do in your menu. Therefore you can add a callback into the dynamic_menu object, which can do this stuff for you.If you don&#

Re: How to Handle Sounds in BGT Thank you for the very detailed responses. So, I just want to make sure I understand this correctly, if I preload my sounds, when I pass the file name to the sound_pool methods, such as play_1d, it will first check if the sound is already loaded in memory

Re: How to Handle Sounds in BGT

Re: How to Handle Sounds in BGT 1. The underlying sound engine will clone sounds that are already in memory, to save on load time during game-play. Preloading is loading the sounds for which this matters at the beginning.2. Avoid global variables the same way you would in any other

How to Handle Sounds in BGT

How to Handle Sounds in BGT Hi, so I am making my way through the BGT tutorials, and I have been able to create a couple of my own modules, for handling speech, and menus, but I still don't have a good grasp on how BGT is handling sounds. I have looked at a couple examples of ho
