Re: Audio games in the Web Browser
This is only a very thin layer over WebAudio, because I wanted to keep the flexibility of the audio nodes. It's possible to add a simpler layer with a specific aim.
I'm not sure yet about the efficiency. The code creates a Brython function as a callback for each sound file. Maybe some more _javascript_ will be necessary. I don't exclude to write all the game in _javascript_ if necessary either, now that I start to understand the "this" keyword and the "prototype" property. I'll try Brython a bit more though.
The good thing is that it's possible to give a Brython function to a _javascript_ function as a parameter for a callback. _javascript_ and WebAudio seem to use a lot of callbacks. I have sent the example to the Brython list and mentioned the problem with Ajax. It isn't really a problem because the lower layer can be in _javascript_ as long as it is possible to make callbacks. Reading the documentation, I first thought that ca llbacks wouldn't be possible, but they are.
In a first version without callbacks the whole loading code was in _javascript_ and a variable was set when the loading was over. The Brython part was polling this variable using the timer module and the function set_timeout(function, ms). Note that, contrary to Python, using time.sleep() isn't really possible in Brython because it would use 100% CPU. The underlying _javascript_ prefers callbacks.
