PureBasic Forums - English

Well I haven't used Pure BASIC in a while, but took a look once again and decided to write a game using it.

Here's a screen shot, early days but I have a sprite moving about smoothly and the graphics are complete and ready to be added to the game. Zoom to 100% to get a better perspective. It's running at 1920 x 1080 @ 2850 FPS.

Sorry guys. So many views, but I've just started coding the game.

Graphics look nice. What will it be?

Thanks. It'll be a Crossfire meets Bomberman type of game.

Added sound and music...

No support for ogg guys?

Are you using Purebasic's LoadSound() because it should support OGG files.
If you are just don't forget to use UseOGGSoundDecoder() sometime before you load any OGG files.

Ah, ok - thanks...But UseOGGSoundDecoder() and LoadMusic() results in just a noise...Anybody got some code to load ogg files that works? Or perhaps Audacity is not converting WAV to OGG correctly.

I'm not really familiar with the OGG format so someone else might more of a help.

Can you play the OGG file in a media player of some sort excluding Audacity and Purebasic.
If you can then I'd say Purebasic is the problem if not then maybe it's Audacity messing something up.

Also are there any options when creating one? Maybe only certain types of OGG files (like older/different formats) will run with Purebasic.

That's about all I can think of.

No probs...Well it's a massive compression file size over WAV, so it's important.

Yes, only Pure BASIC won't play the file correctly.

Excellent. I enjoyed Crossfire on the 8-bit Atari.

It's just that you'll need to use the Sound and not Music commands to play the Ogg Vorbis files.

Thanks, it is a fun little game. Although I never played the original (I know somebody who also made a remake).

Great stuff! Works perfectly now.

Putting my routines into a Framework, to make producing games quicker and easier for pb users...

And hopefully new pb users!

pb clearly has hidden depths - keep at it Fred and co!

You might be trying to play ogg music with PlayMusic()... this will only play mod files.
You need to use LoadSound() and PlaySound() for ogg files.

Yes, thanks Grunz. I've already realised that now.
