Sound

[esplonky]

How do i add sound to my atari game? i want to add like a descending low tone when i fire missile0 and a low static noise when the missile0 hits player1, btw, when opening the ROM itll show a black screen, simply press fire.

Check out my Fake Gravity Platformer Test code here:

That's one way to add sound.

i want a tutorial with some basic code that is just sounds

I've tried a few times to add sounds to my game. Nothin doing for me. They never come out how I envision them to sound. They either don't work for me, or just make a quick bleep.

Have you looked at RT's page about sounds?

I have to finish a couple of things first, but after that, I'll make a little example program based on what I posted and see if that helps.

RT's the one who helped me in the past, but unfortunately the only help that helped me was him actually doing the work for me.

 

I was unable to successfully do things on my own. I tried inserting the sound in various spots.

just posting here so i can use it at school

ok so i have everything i need for my final version of Desando Joe! but i want sound effects. i put a yars revenge sound in the background (weird buzzy wah wah) and i want my missily to fire and make like a electric buzz with the sound deepening like as if a missile was firing and a staticy sound when it hits the enemy. could you please put that into my code Random Terrain, nukey shay rev eng, or seaGtGruff. You guys are the best at batari BASIC in my opinion. so i am coming to you four.

change the AUDV0 = 6 to AUDV0 = 4 because its too loud to me

ok so i have everything i need for my final version of Desando Joe!

You said that you were doing this for school, so that must mean you have a deadline. If your teacher just wants you to have anything moving on the screen, then I guess you have everything you need. But if you are trying to make a real game, you're not even close to having a final version. There's not much of an actual game there yet.

 

I don't know if you'll be able to use it, but I started working on an example program yesterday (I finally finished the Andrew Davie Sessions and the Robert M Lessons, so now I can get back to bB programming). I'll try to get it finished today if I can. But like I said, there are different ways to do sound, so you may not want to use it.

 

 

I don't know if anyone will want to insert sound effects for you, but below is your program in downloadable form so nobody has to copy and paste, just in case.

 

Here's the .bin file to use with an emulator:

 

esplonky_2011y_05m_26d_0501t.bin

 

 

Here's the bB code:

 

esplonky_2011y_05m_26d_0501t.bas

[esplonky]

it's not for school exactly, my computer teacher is wanting me to do stuff for her, and this is my first attempt at bB so im still learning right now lol. but i wanna make a platformer soon just to try it.

OK, here's my first draft of the example program. It uses data and bankswitching since you were asking about that. Move the joystick in 4 directions and press the fire button to hear the sounds.

 

 

Here's the .bin file to use with an emulator:

 

ex_sound_using_data_2011y_05m_26d_2339t.bin

It's on the bB page now:
