Sound timing

[Galaxian]

Hello,

I'm aiming to do as little posting on this forum as possible due to the fact that I'm probably annoying you guys. (Totally understandable)

But I need to find out how to time my sounds. They seem to just go on forever and as you may know, the little bleeps in pong DO NOT go forever!

So, if someone who is good with sound could help me, it would be much appreciated.

 

Regards,

Henry

I'm not "good", but I know enough to answer your question.

 

Make a variable a timer, set it to something like 12 or 20 (play around till it sounds right) and have it count down in you main game loop. When it hits 0 turn the volume to 0. Something like

 

Main_Loop

Counter=Counter-1

if Counter=0 then AUDV0=0

<game code here>

goto Main_Loop

 

Something like that.

WOW that's great! Trust me, in comparison to me you are VERY good with sound!

Just one problem, it doesn't get what counter means. Here is my source code:
