The farm game is not the best tuturial, the demo8 demo project is. It
available for download and is on the SDK CD too. Follow the bookmarks in
the project. The bookmarks really make it come together. The only thing is
it doesn't go over scripting much since the bulk of it was written before
that was added to DMusic. I believe Scott Selfon has a bunch of articles on
it. If you browse the old posts I'm sure you can find some links he
posted.
There is only one thing that needs to change to make the FarmGame demo a
proper Audioscripts sample.
Replace:
sub dmAllStop
Select Case PlayFlag
Case 1
BGNight.stop
Case 2
BGPredawn.stop
Case 3
BGDawn.stop
End Select
end sub
With:
sub dmAllStop
BGNight.stop
BGPredawn.stop
BGDawn.stop
end sub
You could also use if statements but there's no harm in stopping something
that's not playing.
Here's a post I made earlier about the Demo8 project:
To get it go here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/topic.asp?url
=/msdn-files/028/000/114/topic.xml
and download the demo.
It's also on the DX CD. Run this file to install it:
E:\DXF\DXSDK\essentls\DMusProd\DemoContent\DMPDemoContent.exe (that's where
it is on the 8.1 CD)
You could download my projects off my website, but they are a little complex
for a beginner :)
