Circle music

[aviktorov]

Very cool; if only it sounded every time the circles touch and not one in four or five... Seems like the more circles I draw the more touches it doesn't sound

Actually, my first version creates a lot of sources and as a result I got a memory leak. So I decided to 'pre-create' all different sources and use them. But it looks like I can't reuse them.

A source is a single source of sound, so it can't be playing twice at the same time, probably causing these problems. What you could do is keep a list of sources, and when you need to play that sound, first check in the list if there is an unused one already:

Code: Select all

function play_source(source_list, file_name)
    for i, s in ipairs(source_list)
        if s:isStopped() then
            s:play()
            return
        end
    end
    local s = love.audio.newSource(file_name)
    source_list[#source_list + 1] = s
    s:play()
end

Warning: untested, yadda yadda yadda

Or let TEsound do that for you.

Hey, thanks for helping me!

Here is the new version (now I store a list of sources for each unique sound).

Much better! Only sometimes there is no sound still. Also, circles inside other circles are invisible.
