README for the AIFF files:
|
|
|
|
These files are sound files for the instruments in NetHack.
|
|
There are 11 sounds, one for each distinct instrument.
|
|
The sounds are in 8-bit 22kHz AIFF format, which should be
|
|
readable by a broad range of platforms. Since the sounds
|
|
came from Rolands S-750 sample library (most of them) there
|
|
should be no copyright on them when we treat them like we
|
|
do here (as instruments) - indeed, the sample library I
|
|
got from Roland didn't even bear a (c) symbol.
|
|
|
|
Some of the sounds are very adequate (Drum of Earthquake,
|
|
Wooden Flute, Magic Harp) while some are less true to the
|
|
original name (how does a Frost Horn sound?) Actually, I
|
|
don't know what a Bugle is (Bugle horn?) so I took a trumpet
|
|
sound for that. Correct me if I'm wrong.
|
|
|
|
What does this have to do with the main code? Well, nothing
|
|
so far. There are some places that are #ifdef MAC and calls
|
|
mac_speaker; that function takes an object and a tune (in
|
|
capital letters A-G) and plays the tune with the given
|
|
instrument. When playing a specific tune, that tune is of
|
|
course used. For "improvise," I use middle "C."
|
|
|
|
Ideally, we should do something equal with sound that we
|
|
have with displays, so we can use one common set of calls
|
|
in the main code, and have ports do whatever seems appropriate
|
|
for the available hardware.
|
|
|
|
Any comment on the sounds or their use is welcome:
