Adding background music

[michaeladair]

Basically I want to add some background music to my game.
I found:

Code: Select all

source = love.audio.newSource( file, type )

And

Code: Select all

love.audio.play( source )

Do I just make it like this?

Code: Select all

music = love.audio.newSource( libs/gangstersparadise, mp3 )
love.audio.play( music )

Any help would be great, thank you.

Code: Select all

music = love.audio.newSource( 'libs/gangster paradise.mp3', 'dynamic' )
music:setLooping( true ) --so it doesnt stop
music:play()

It says that dynamic is an invalid source type...

don't do dynamic.

[michaeladair]

don't do dynamic.

Then what should I do instead of it? And should i have this code inside a function?

"stream" or "static" is a thing, "dynamic" is not.

Code: Select all

music = love.audio.newSource( 'libs/gangster paradise.mp3', 'stream' )
music:setLooping( true ) --so it doesnt stop
music:play()

And should i have this code inside a function?

Either in love.load() or not in a function. (Just don't put it in love.update or love.draw)

Whoops, my fault for not looking it up in the wiki again
