GameAudio

GameAudio contains 2 classes: GameAudioPlayer and GameAudioSpritePlayer, both attached to the window object after inclusion of the script at /public/js/game-audio.js

The main purpose of this library is top provide a common set of methods to play sounds with JavaScript, regardless of environment (I'm specifically thinking about PhoneGap/Cordova here, which might use native plugins, etc.; but in any case, we want a single set of methods to use).

GameAudioPlayer

• this.play() Plays the file once, just like the native JS function;
• this.playAsync() Plays the file even if the current sound has not yet finished playing. Good if you need the same sound to overlap;
• this.pause() Pauses the current sound, like the native JS function. Note that if you have used playAsync(), some instances of the current sound might continue playing even after calling this method;
• this.playLoop() Plays the sound in a loop until you pause() it.

How to use

// instantiate the sound:
var sound = new GameAudioPlayer( '/sounds/smooth-criminal.mp3' );

// play it once:
playButton.onclick = function(){
    sound.play();
}

// play it in a loop:
loopButton.onclick = function(){
    sound.playLoop();
}

// pause it
pauseButton.onclick = function(){
    sound.pause();
}
