Play sounds

You want to play a sound effect when something happens.

1. Drag the .wav file into the Recursos (Resources) panel. The name of the sound is the name of the file without the .wav.
2. In the code, play it by name:

Audio::play("explosao");

Tip

Select the sound in Recursos and click Copiar código (copy code) in the Inspector: the line Audio::play("..."); goes to the clipboard. See Sounds.

How it works

• Audio::play(name) starts playing the sound and returns right away: the game doesn’t stop to wait.
• Several sounds can play at the same time.
• For now, Brasa plays WAV files.

Variations

Volume (from 0 to 1):

Audio::play("tiro", {.volume = 0.4f});

Looping music, stopping it later:

// in the class: SoundId music_ = 0;
music_ = Audio::play("musica", {.volume = 0.6f, .loop = true});
// ... later:
Audio::stop(music_);

Audio::stopAll() stops all the sounds.
