Detailed Description

An audio channel, different channels could be for example: "Music", "Speech" and "Sound Effects".

Example:

struct Channels : public jngl::Singleton<Channels> {
    jngl::Channel& main = jngl::Channel::main();
    jngl::Channel music;
    jngl::Channel speech;
};
 
// somewhere else:
Channels::handle().music.loop("background_music01.ogg");

Member Function Documentation

loop()

void loop

(

const std::string &

filename

)

Play an OGG audio file on this channel in a loop.

If it's already playing, this function won't play it twice.

pause()

Finally pause

(

)

Pauses the Channel; destroying the returned Finally object will resume again.

Note that this doesn't change the status of jngl::isPlaying as that only depends on the status of the SoundFile.

Example where you want to pause audio in a menu:

class PauseMenu : public jngl::Work {
    jngl::Finally paused;
 
public:
    PauseMenu() : paused(jngl::Channel::main().pause()) {}
    void step() override { /* ... */ }
    void draw() const override { /* ... */ }
};

Or if you want to toggle pausing audio using Space:

class PauseExample : public jngl::Work {
    std::optional<jngl::Finally> paused;
 
public:
    void step() override {
        if (jngl::keyPressed(jngl::key::Space)) {
            if (paused) {
                paused = {}; // calls ~Finally() and resumes playback
            } else {
                paused = jngl::Channel::main().pause();
            }
        }
    }
    void draw() const override { /* ... */ }
};
