Attempting to create an array for different sounds, which then produce the sound when

Gragnit

Hi all I'm having some problems creating an array with different sounds, these are then attached to the balls so when they touch the bottom or top of the screen each produce a unique sound. Please can anyone help me to see where I'm going wrong. Cheers

  AudioPlayer [] songs = new AudioPlayer[CircleNumber];
  MyCoor = new PVector[CircleNumber]; // creates all the variable for the balls//
  diameter = new float[CircleNumber]; // These include the balls coordinates, their size, their speed  
  isMoving = new boolean[CircleNumber]; // and whether they have been clicked allowing them to move //

  CircleSpeed_Y = new float[CircleNumber]; 
  int counter = 0;

    float xp = diameter[counter] + counter * 170;  // spreads the balls out evenly across the stage on the X axis //

I deleted the duplicate thread and moved the topic to the right category.

If you described more precisely what is your issue, perhaps it would be easier to help you...

General advices:

• Avoid using Boolean instead of boolean (unless you know what you are doing!).
• By convention, variable names always start with a lowercase letter... Doing otherwise, in a non-consistent way, make the code harder to read.
• You should move your imports at the top of the sketch.
• You should remove dead code / unused variables, like the various AudioPlayers used nowhere.

Hi PhiLho.

Thanks for the above advice.

I'll try and explain a bit better with what I'm trying to do.

This code is one one of my tasks for my Uni module. What it had originally done was when you played the code it would produce 6 circles near the top in a stationary position, when you clicked on one of them they would move until they touched the bottom of the window and then a noise would be produced. Each circle would move independent from the others, however the noises when they touched the bottom or top of the windows would be the same.

What I'm now trying to do with the above code, is have 5 different sounds, have them put into an array linked with each ball individually, so when they touch the bottom or top they would produce a different sound. This would then hopefully make a simple tune.

Cheers for reading all this PhiLho, look forward to hearing from you and any help you can give on this/

I fear I don't know much about Minim, but when I look at the examples shipped with Processing, I think the TriggerASample example is close of what you want to do. Instead of using AudioPlayers, you should try and use AudioSamples instead.
