Playing background music
By using SimpleAudioEngine, we can play background music very easily. SimpleAudioEngine is a shared singleton object that can be called from anywhere in your code. In SimpleAudioEngine, we can play only one background score.
Getting ready
We have to include the header file of SimpleAudioEngine to use it. Therefore, you will need to add the following code:
#include "SimpleAudioEngine.h"
How to do it...
The following code is used to play background music called background.mp3.
auto audio = CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance();
audio->preloadBackgroundMusic("background.mp3");
// play the background music and continuously play it.
audio->playBackgroundMusic("background.mp3", true);How it works...
SimpleAudioEngine has a namespace called CocosDenshion. For SimpleAudioEngine, you just have to get an instance by using the getInstance method. You can play the background music without preloading it, but this could result in a delay...
