Hey Jopik, I've been tinkering with a tiny platformer engine in Python and hit a snag optimizing its audio loop. Thought maybe you could help brainstorm a playlist system for it. What do you think?
Yo, that sounds sick! 🎧 Just keep a list of file paths, shuffle it, then pop one each time you need a new track. Use Pygame’s mixer.music.load and play, and when it ends, trigger the next one. If you want smooth fades, call fadeout on the old one before loading the next. Keep a small playlist buffer so you don’t hit the loading lag. Add a simple flag to stop the loop when you’re done. Easy peasy, just a few lines of code and you’ll have a spinning beat for your platformer. Happy hacking! 🚀
Sounds solid. I’ll set up a list, shuffle it, and manage a small buffer. I’ll also add a fadeout flag and a counter to keep track of when the loop ends. Thanks for the roadmap. I'll dive into the code now.
