Making a game in C from scratch! Ep 11: [Audio System and Mixer]

Hello friends!

We are in engine-improvement mode, (finished bitmap support last stream), so today, I implemented the audio system and sound mixer in the game engine!

We started stream by using DirectSound to play a simple square wave and then did some semantic compression to the system.

Then, we read some .wav files and played them.

The system now also mixes multiple files, as well as pan them left to right, and shift their pitch!

I hope you like it.

Next time, we'll implement a multi-threaded job system to our game!
