is it possible a sound frequency command could be put into AppGameKit, for instance if you had a small sample of a motorbike engine, I could use the same sample and loop it, but to emulate the engine getting faster or slower i would just change the frequency of the sample been played.


I hope that makes sense.

There can only be one

I would add it as a feature request on the bug report board.

I'm trying to code around this problem by forming a soundfx queue, which works quite nicely (so far)
The idea is you have a startup sound, a loop at freq 1, then a stepup sound (e.g. frequency 1 to frequency 2) then a loop at freq 2 etc.

The only stumbling block for me at the moment is to know when a looped sound is at the loop point (so I can join in the next sound if the queue is due to move down).

Other than count frames (which would lead to other problems) any ideas?

Sound support in AppGameKit is really very basic.
MP3s don't even loop seamlessly.
This makes it near to impossible to do music style games.

I think after they do more 2D commands, they should concentrate on audio.

For now I am using FMOD in T2, which offers all the imaginable options, but I only got it working on iOS and Windows... can't seem to work on Android with AppGameKit
