LÖVE

Hi guys,

Check this baby out: http://worp.zevv.nl/

As I have stated before, I'm no math genious and know very little about sound in general, and I have not experimented with the sound API (in neither 0.8 or 0.9).

Would it be possible to build this (or a subset of it) using the LÖVE sound API?

I wrote a sound-synth for Love a long time ago (link). It had a noticeable lag in my tests, and that was just a simple compilation of pitched squarewaves. So, I'd say doable, but impractical. Combining love with luajit would probably yield better results though.

Yes and no: You can do sound synthesis using [wiki]SoundData[/wiki]s setSample, but not in real time (partly because real-time audio is hard). You can, however, prerender some effects and then mix them to get something very much like real time synthesis.

On the math required to do stuff: You can get a long way with relatively simple stuff. Headchant wrote two tutorials that are a good start. I also did a talk about that topic some years ago. Unfortunately the slides are in german, but since they are mostly images that shouldn't be too bad. The github repo also contains some code, which later expanded into Moan.

Be careful posting links in thread titles. This thread almost blended in with the half dozen spam threads that also have URLs for randomly named websites in their title.

Jasoco: thanks - that's precisely why I added the 'doable in LÖVE' string.

Vrld and Inny: thanks for the feedback!

SpamBots are smart enough to comb websites for common phrases and wordages. It's very likely one could find the phrase "doable in LÖVE?" and use it if it wanted to.

worp.zevv.nl just looks like such a generic URL that could accidentally be overlooked had this been in the spam queue. I know if this thread had been with a dozen other threads with URL's in their titles, I'd have gone right over it.

Sorry, this is off topic.

Just wanted to point out that you're not alone, Jasoco. My first thought when I saw this thread was "How did it get through the spam filter?"

Alright, updated the post. I don't want to scare the children
