Re: SAPI seems to be laggy
Re: SAPI seems to be laggy I am indeed using the async flag. When I say that SAPI is laggy, I mean that it sometimes delays speaking noticeably when it starts speaking (this is especially noticeable in a when scrolling through menus) and sometimes when it's nearly done speaking and I try to get it to speak something else, it doesn't seem to stop speaking the old text even though I am using the perge befor speak flag.This is much less noticeable if I raise the rate of the voice, but it's still there.I'll try using null instead of an empty string when interrupting, but I don't think my code interrupts SAPI at any point.This isn't just my own program though. It's also in Aprone's games, like Lunimals, Paw prints and Castaways.

SAPI seems to be laggy
SAPI seems to be laggy I'm on Windows 10 and any SAPI voices that I use sometimes block the program for maybe half a second before or while they're speaking. The only games where this doesn't seem to be happening are Entombed and A Hero's Call.Is there any way I can stop this happening for my own programs? Maybe there's a flag I can pass to the SPVoice Speak method or something?

Re: The Synthizer Thread
Re: The Synthizer Thread
I think that something is up with panned source.When I run this code:from synthizer import *import sys, timewith initialized(): ctx=Context() buf=Buffer.from_stream("file", sys.argv[1]) gen=BufferGenerator(ctx) gen.buffer=buf src="" /> src.add_generator(gen) src.panning_scalar=1 time.sleep(buf.get_length_in_seconds())I expect the sound to start playing at the far right, but instead it's playing in the center.Also, do you have the algorithms for converting between DB and a scalar for gain and PanningScalar? The only one I found was the one in the Python example.

Re: The Synthizer Thread I think that streaming generators, when you first add it to a source, play the same 50 MS or so of audio twice.I was also wondering why WAV decoding was about as slow as FLAC.

Re: Is there a good way to handle multiple enemies who can effect each oth
Re: Is there a good way to handle multiple enemies who can effect each oth I think much of the reason that I wanted to use Rust is because how nice it could be to work with. I made a little network thing where you tell it what kind of data you want, it uses serde_bincode to send and receive data, then you just iterate over all your connections every game loop to see if there's anything new.I think the thing that bothers me about Python is the huge amount of junk that can get dragged along with your games like NumPy and WX. Some PyInstaller games are over 100 MB uncompressed and take 10+ seconds to start on my machine. Sound RTS is slow for me once you start cramming a hundred units on the map as well.

Is there a good way to handle multiple enemies who can effect each oth
Is there a good way to handle multiple enemies who can effect each oth I haven't actually tried this, but say you were writing an audiogame in Rust and you want to have enemies that can kill or heal each other.How would you do this though?It seems the only way to keep track of everything is to use a container of some kind, but Rust won't let you get multiple mutable references to items in a container.I'm thinking of making a container that keeps track of enemies via an ID, like the slotmap crate, but also lets you put enemies on a specific tile and efficiently be able to check if something is on a tile via a dictionary that maps coordinates to a list of what ever is on that tile.Is this a good idea? Do I need to use a bunch of unsafe code and RefCell to make this work? Or should I be looking at something like Bevy?

Re: Help decide what will be in Synthizer 1.0 I was thinking that with this way of loading sounds, there would be no need to load sounds ahead of time.

Re: Help decide what will be in Synthizer 1.0 Maybe a way to add or subtract a value from integer properties without having to get the property first?

How can I get input using SDL without this strange edit box popping up
How can I get input using SDL without this strange edit box popping up Sometimes when I call SDL_StartTextInput and SDL_StopTextInput, some kind of edit field seems to pop up every time I press escape. I checked the documentation and it mentions that this can turn on the on-screen-keyboard and I assume it's related to that. Since this can prevent me from using the arrow keys, is there a way to turn that off?Or should I do my own input handling?My worry with the latter is that there doesn't seem to be a way to detect if the caps lock key is on, so I'd have to assume it was off and , toggle an internal state when you press it. There are probably other corner cases with this approach as well.Any ideas?

Re: The Synthizer Thread Could you add a sound source which captures raw sound data from a generator and writes it to disk as a WAV file?Also, if you add a function which instantly sends the next N seconds or milliseconds of audio through all audio sources attached to the generator without actually playing anything, I could maybe use Synthizer to record a game, maybe if you added a way to get the Synthizer contexts mixer its self as a generator and attach a sound source which writes to disk.With these changes, I could also change sounds, lower or raise their volume, maybe add other attributes ETC.Does Miniaudio support actual recording audio from a microphone?

Re: The Synthizer Thread
Re: The Synthizer Thread @CamlornDoes Synthizer manually support setting the pan, pitch and volume properties?This would be useful for example, when I want a sound to play on the far left side of the player and at full volume, like a huge distant explosion.Also, do you think it's necessary to allow seeking through sounds, getting the current position and length of the sound?

Re: Writing audiogames in Nim?
Re: Writing audiogames in Nim?
@9I managed to make a shared memory example.You need to allocate an object on the shared heap and pass ptr T to your other threads, directly or through channels.Main sends thread1 a pointer to a square struct that has 4 ints over a channel, stored as a global variable.Thread1 prints a message when it recieves the pointer, then waits for main to modify square.x, printing a message when it happens..Main waits 6 seconds and sets square.x to 1000, note that both threads are using a mutex.Code:import strformat, os, locks, segfaults, randomtype square = object # Ref object won't work. w, x, y, z : int mutex: Lockvar c: Channel[ptr square]proc allocSharedObject(kind: typedesc): ptr kind= return cast[ptr kind](allocShared0(sizeof(kind)))proc getValue() {.thread.} = var res=c.recv() echo fmt"Recieved square {res.w}, {res.x}, {res.y}, {res.z}" while true: withLock(res.mutex): if res.x==1000: echo "res.x just changed to 1000!" break sleep(1000)proc main() = randomize() var sq=allocSharedObject(square) sq.w=rand(1000) sq.x=rand(2000) sq.y=rand(2000) sq.z=rand(100) sq.mutex.initLock() var thr: Thread[void] c.open() c.send(sq) echo fmt"Sent square {sq.w}, {sq.x}, {sq.y}, {sq.z}" thr.createThread(getValue) sleep(6000) withLock(sq.mutex): sq.x=1000 thr.joinThread() deallocShared(sq)main()

Re: Writing audiogames in Nim?
Re: Writing audiogames in Nim? Another reason I like it is because it's compiled to C code and doesn't need an interpreter like Python. I do like Python, but it has a few problems.It is slower than C. This isn't usually a problem for audiogames, but if you write intensive code it could be.Distributions are very big. If you're lucky, it's just 20 MB, otherwise it's more like 40 or 50 MB. I'm sure 99% of people have enough room on their hard disks to download it, but it's not efficient. Also, there's slow startup time. Not a problem at all when you don't have it, but it's nice when you do. Then there's multithreading, which isn't so fast because of the GIL and finally, Python's not super secure. If you forget or don't know how to compile code with Cython, you can disassemble the bytecode easily. Everything is normally dynamically linked as well, so someone could compile a slightly changed version a DLL, put it in your game and make it do something nasty. Of course you could check for hashes, but it could be kinda hard to do for every DLL.

Writing audiogames in Nim?
Writing audiogames in Nim?
I recently discovered a programming language called Nim. It's basically a language with a Python-based syntax that compiles down to fast C, C++ or _javascript_ and I think it could definitely be fun to write games in it, if someone were to write an audiogames engine.A hello world program is only one line:echo "Hello world!"It has some great tools to help with calling into C, like Nimterop and the language is also very fast, close to C in terms of performance.The web site is https://nim-lang.orgJust for fun, you can write Python extension modules in Nim.Here is code that makes a Python extension module with a function Random, which returns a random number.import nimpy, randomrandomize() # Initialize the Random number generator so we don't get the same values all the time.##Returns a random integer between min and maxproc Random(min, max: int): int {.exportpy.} = return rand(max-min)+min # Can't find 'rand' function that supports both min and max right now.To build it, put the code in a file called rand.nim, then run this on the command line:nim c -d:release --app:lib -o:rand.pyd rand.nimPython:>>> import rand>>> rand>>> rand.Random(3000, 6000)5393>>> rand.Random(3000, 6000)3368>>> rand.Random(3000, 6000)3339>>> rand.Random(3000, 6000)4127>>>What do you think?

Also, I'm just excluding 0s for now, still need to look at a noise gate.Also note that Microsoft Anna may not be that laggy. You'd have to try a different voice in order to get a speedup I guess.

Re: Python how to get the raw audio data from SAPI?
Re: Python how to get the raw audio data from SAPI? I could be wrong on this, but I think there is a SAPI event, EndStream, which reports the length of the raw audio data that was written to the stream.That said, if I reset the stream to 0 every time I speak, I would be able to read the correct amount of data from the stream and avoide unnecessary memory allocation.I don't know how to handle events though, in my genpy cache there is a file _ISpeechVoiceEvents.py, which seems to allow me to set handlers for voice events.

Python how to get the raw audio data from SAPI?
Philip recommended getting the raw audio samples when SAPI speaks and trimming the silence from the start, to help it speak faster.However, I encountered a problem doing that.What I have tried is this:# a script that tries to output SAPI and trim silence.from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatchimport winsoundfrom wave import Wave_writefrom io import BytesIOvoice=EnsureDispatch("SAPI.SPVoice")stream=EnsureDispatch("SAPI.SPMemoryStream")stream.Format.Type=34 # SAFT44kHz16BitMono = 34voice.AudioOutputStream=streamwhile True: text=input("Enter text to speak") voice.Speak(text) bytereader=BytesIO() wavefile=Wave_write(bytereader) wavefile.setnchannels(1) wavefile.setsampwidth(2) wavefile.setframerate(44100) wavefile.writeframes(stream.GetData().tobytes()) data="" /> while data[0]==0: data="" /> winsound.PlaySound(data, winsound.SND_MEMORY)There is just one obvious problem. There is no way to empty the stream! Every time you press enter, the previous text is also repeated!Does anyone know how I can empty it?If I call stream.SetData(0), then the, it helps, but if I speak a long string, and then a short string, some parts of the long string can still be heard when the short string has finished.Thanks for any help!

Re: Pathfinding working... sort of... Certainly it is confusing.What I mean is converting as many Python functions and types into C types as possible, and when you compile, Cython generates pure C code that doesn't interact with the much slower CPython API during the actual operation.My Pathfinder has a pathfinder class like this.# distutils: language=c++ // I'm using C++ so I can use a vector, which is basically a list who's members must all have the same type.

Re: Pathfinding implementation?
Re: Pathfinding implementation? Here is my simple AStar pathfinder in Cython.I won't guarantee it works, I'll just say it worked for me.Feel free to change it as much as you like.It's got one class, pathfinder.setup_map(int max_x, int max_y)This initializes the internal map to be max_x by max_y units large. The internal map is 2D by the way.set_terrain(min_x, max_x=min_x, min_y, max_y=min_y, type)Allows you to modify entire areas of the map to have the terrain type and returns the number of squares who's type was changed.The type determines how likely the computer will step in it, with 0 being the most likely, and 10 being completely impassable.find_path(x1, y1, x2, y2, allow_diagonal=False)Try to search a path from x1, y1 to x2, y2 through the map that is currently set up.Returns a list of (x,y) tuples on success, (the first one being the starting location), each (x,y) tuple being a set of x,y coordinates, or an empty list if it didn't find a way.Allow diagonal lets you set weather or not to allow moving in diagonal directions.This class uses numpy, so make sure to install it.The only other thing of interest is maparray, which is the 2D numpy array representing the map.You can change single coordinates in the map and maybe more, if you mess around with it.Here's the link.I wasn't planning to share this, so there are no docstrings or such.https://www.dropbox.com/s/ac2qe6xfizmoq … r.pyx?dl=0Oh, and hope you have a compiler!

Re: How can I incrypt sounds?
Re: How can I incrypt sounds?
If you want to encrypt some data, here's an example.void main(){string data="" "Enter some data to encrypt");string key="my secret key";string result=string_encrypt(data, key);alert("The encrypted data is ", result);}So the function string_encrypt takes 2 values or arguments: Some data to encrypt, like some data from a sound, and a key, which you'll need to remember and use when decripting your encrypted data.So basically, if you have a sounds folder, what you do to encrypt each sound is.WARNING! Back up your sounds folder before you run this, or you'll have to decrypt the files.void main(){sounds[]=find_files("sounds/*"); // Find all the files in the sounds directoryconst string key="thisismysoundkeythatyouareneversupposedtofind"; // The key you'll use for encryption. You should really use it by getting it from a function to try and stop it from floating around in memory where it's easy to get at, but for now, just set it.for(int j=0; j{string file=files[j]; // The current file that we're looping over, just for convenience.bool result=file_encrypt(file, file, key); //Encrypt the current file, replacing the unencrypted data with the encrypted data.if(result==false){alert("Error", "Error encrypting file "+file+" with key "+key+". "+get_last_error_text());}}}That should encrypt all the files in the sounds folder, though you probably want to change the key.

There was only 'rust_eh_personality", even if the name got mixed up, shouldn't there be something else?My cargo file is like this[package]name = "dll"version = "0.1.0"authors = ["Keith"]edition = "2018"[dependencies][lib]name="test"crate-type=["cdylib"]Thanks.Edit: Also, this came from home, I don't have the VC build tools installed on here
