Here we created a SoundEngine that we use for all audio-related code. SoundEngine->play2D("audio/breakout.mp3", true) ISoundEngine *SoundEngine = createIrrKlangDevice() We include the irrKlang header file, create an irrKlang::ISoundEngine, initialize it with createIrrKlangDevice, and then use the engine to load and play audio files: Your browser does not support the audio element.Īdding this to the Breakout game is extremely easy with the irrKlang library. Feel free to replace it with your own tracks or use it in any way you like. This track is what we'll play whenever the game starts and that continuously loops until the player closes the game. You can find the audio track here that we'll use as the game's background music. Specifically for this game I created a small little audio track so the game feels a bit more alive. Note that if you want to load MP3 files, you'll also have to include the ikpMP3.dll file. Once you include the header files of irrKlang, add their (64-bit) library ( irrKlang.lib) to the linker settings, and copy the dll file(s) to the appropriate locations (usually the same location where the. Luckily they have plenty of precompiled library files. Because irrKlang is closed-source, we cannot compile the library ourselves so we'll have to do with whatever irrKlang provided for us.

You can download irrKlang from their download page we're using version 1.5 for this chapter.

Note that irrKlang has a slightly restrictive license: you are allowed to use irrKlang as you see fit for non-commercial purposes, but you have to pay for their pro version whenever you want to use irrKlang commercially. IrrKlang is an easy-to-use audio library that can play most audio files with just a few lines of code, making it a perfect candidate for our Breakout game.
It also features several audio effects like reverb, delay, and distortion that can be extensively tweaked.ģD audio means that an audio source can have a 3D position that will attenuate its volume based on the camera's distance to the audio source, making it feel natural in a 3D world (think of gunfire in a 3D world most often you'll be able to hear where it came from just by the direction/location of the sound).

IrrKlang is a high level 2D and 3D cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) sound engine and audio library that plays WAV, MP3, OGG, and FLAC files to name a few. We are, however, going to make use of a library for audio management called irrKlang. If it is your cup of tea then feel free to manually load audio streams from one or more audio file extensions. This can get complicated pretty quick and requires some low-level knowledge of audio engineering. We have to manually load audio files into a collection of bytes, process and convert them to an audio stream, and manage multiple audio streams appropriately for use in our game. OpenGL doesn't offer us any support for audio capabilities (like many other aspects of game development). The game's making great progress, but it still feels a bit empty as there's no audio whatsoever.
