17 Day Challenge

================

To prove to someone that all of this has been worth it!

27th: Audio Class

>! **Update**
>! I started this challenge at 0:00 am and now it is 4:50 am and I have finished the Audio Class! I started off using DirectAudio but I realised that DirectMusic doesn't ducking support MP3 files…but I sorted that out by using DirectShow.
>! Audio Class
>! -DirectSound
>! -DirectMusic
>! -DirectShow
>! Even though by using DirectShow I have to add another reference to the project, it's all good as DirectShow provides the ability to play video files so if I ever need to play a video in-game then I can through DirectShow :)
>! Maybe in the morning I can get ahead start on the Input Class but I'm not sure yet :P Good night!

Looking good, I hope you actually get it done! How long have you been working on this? You certainly seem one of the most dedicated of the hundreds of pokemon games I see crop up as you have been doing this for some time now (on and off). Best of luck, I look forward to the results.

Thank you. I've been working on and off my game for 5 years, ever since I got into game development. I've recently been soo lazy that it's crazy. I have been doing some work here and there but no way as much as I should be doing. This is my way off getting back into the swing of things and to prove to that 'someone' it's all been worth it.

Now I just wonder who that 'someone' is…

[Guest]

Good luck with this man :D

That someone is you or whoever you want it to be :P

**Update**

I started this challenge at 0:00 am and now it is 4:50 am and I have finished the Audio Class! I started off using DirectAudio but I realised that DirectMusic doesn't fucking support MP3 files…but I sorted that out by using DirectShow.

Audio Class

-DirectSound

-DirectMusic

-DirectShow

Even though by using DirectShow I have to add another reference to the project, it's all good as DirectShow provides the ability to play video files so if I ever need to play a video in-game then I can through DirectShow :)

Maybe in the morning I can get ahead start on the Input Class but I'm not sure yet :P Good night!

Is this being done in VB6? And good luck. I would love to do something like this in Java with LWJGL. But I can't cause I have school and I only get about 2-3hrs a day. But I am still working on it bit by bit.

*Silence* Does this mean the challenge is over?

we'll find out in a couple of weeks

[kibbelz]

I hope so, I think he was going to be updating it daily though :/

[Seb]

he hopefully has been too busy programming to keep updating the post

[PD]

Sorry for a lack of update. I haven't been feeling well and there has been some family problems but hopefully all of that is behind me now and I can get on with this. I am waaaaaay behind but I'll see what I can get done by the deadline.
