Sound Effects

The library Cocosdenshion subproject of cocos2d-iphone targeted at game audio needs

Sound effects can be loaded at application startup, so there's no delay during play

http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/cocosdenshion:faq

What we have so far...

Source files:

AsteroidsAppDelegate.h/m implements UIApplicationDelegate

AsteroidScene.h/m is-a CCLayer (the game layer), and implements CCTargetedTouchDelegate

What we will add...

Include the .wav files in the 'Resources' Group (crtl-click → Add → Existing Files)Import 'SimpleAudioEngine' in AsteroidsScene.h to have access to the API Make a '#define' for .wav files in AsteroidsScene.h to reference them in multiple placesPreload the .wav files in AsteroidsAppDelegate applicationDidFinishLaunchingPlay the .wav effects where needed

AsteroidScene.h

...// Importing Chipmunk headers#import "chipmunk.h"

#import "SimpleAudioEngine.h"

//// All of these wav files are preloaded in AsteroidsAppDelegate.m in// AsteroidsAppDelegate::applicationDidFinishLaunching// These wav files were maked as 'Public domain' and downloaded from// http://simplythebest.net/sounds/WAV/

// Add code here to break up the asteroid if it's hasn't reached it's smallest size (in this // case remove it). Quite important to note that you need to use 'post-step' callbacks to add or remove // objects from the space. You CAN"T do it in a callback like this one. see... // http://files.slembcke.net/chipmunk/release/ChipmunkLatest-Docs/examples.html#CollisionCallbacks

// Get the cpShapes involved in the collision // The order will be the same as you defined in the handler definition cpShape *missileShape, *asteroidShape; cpArbiterGetShapes(arb, &missileShape, &asteroidShape);

// Add a post step callback to safely remove the body and shape from the space. // Calling cpSpaceRemove*() directly from a collision handler callback can cause crashes. // You can only register one post step callback per object. cpSpaceAddPostStepCallback(space, (cpPostStepFunc)postStepDistroyAsteroid, asteroidShape, NULL); cpSpaceAddPostStepCallback(space, (cpPostStepFunc)postStepDistroyMissile, missileShape, NULL);

Q & A to some problems that you might bump into...

I've got some wave files but they don't work, what can I do?

Background music from ipod library

You’ll need a provisioned device because the Simulator has no access to a device’s iPod library.
