Microphone Support for LÖVE!

[LPGhatguy]

Hiyo!

I wrote a nifty little library that adds simple microphone support for LÖVE! It's called love-microphone and you can get it here:
https://github.com/LPGhatguy/love-microphone

Right now, it creates a SoundData and calls a callback function (either love.microphonedata or a custom one for each microphone) every time that data is ready to be processed.

Let me know what you think!

cool! gonna try it today

maybe we will see this included in Löve in the future?

Wait, is this pure Lua or a C++-thing that has to be compiled into Löve?

Kudos this looks awesome, also as a side note, your openal interface is a really good example of FFI in lua. I might have to play around with later as well.

Thanks!

This is pure Lua. Does not require any extra dependencies, compilation, or external tools. Just LÖVE 0.9.0+ and LuaJIT, which is default.

It doesn't require OpenAL on your machine?

OpenAL is already required by LÖVE, so it's still accurate to say that it doesn't require anything aside from LÖVE and LuaJIT.

Amazing! Can't wait to see what I can make with this

Perfect!

So what exactly can you do with microphone support in Löve? It's not like you can process voice commands in real-time.

Maybe emulate the Famicom to kill rabbit enemies in a Zelda game or stuff the DS, 3DS and Wii U do in some games?
