Microphone Functions

[JanMulder]

Hey all,

I recently received a PM in which someone requested me to release my Microphone functions. Honestly, I myself almost forgot that I made them. I made them once for a "new library" James was going to make. It never came and I almost forgot about the file.

It's really easy.

Just make sure this function

Code: Select all

UseMicrophone();

runs every frame.
So put paste it in an Execute Code action and put it in a step event of an object.

After you did that you can use these functions as variables:
GetMicVolume()
BlowingInMic()
ClappedInMic()
GetMicFrequency()

I didn't add support for recording something even though it is possible. It costs way too much memory.

GetMicVolume() returns the volume of the microphone (0 to 127).
BlowingInMic() returns 'true' when someone blows in the microphone else it returns 'false' of course.
ClappedInMic() returns 'true' when someone claps in front of the microphone else it returns 'false'.
GetMicFrequency() returns the frequency of the sound that is recorded by the microphone (in Hz).

Hope this helps.

This is awesome. I looked at it to see what coding people use for this, ad it's great!

To record and play back see here:

That won't work anymore if you use the UseMicrophone() function.

[YoshiInAVoid]

OK.

I'm too lazy to find a fix but if you re-name the functions from PA_... to whatever you call them and do a bit of testing then it should work.

[JanMulder]

No it won't. You don't understand.

[YoshiInAVoid]

Ok.

[aekara]

i think i may use it so what do i have to do with the GetMicVolume() ???

[YoshiInAVoid]

Use it as a variable.

EG:

Draw Variable GetMicVolume()

[aekara]

and what does this variable does? do i have to set it? or i can just view it?

[JanMulder]

Just view it. And you can do stuff like this:
If GetMicVolume() > 100
Start Block
//do something
End Block

[aekara]

ok i know how to use the other variables so i am going to test it out

how?
can you upload it?
or send to snivy1999@gmail.com?

a variable just holds a value. So to use GetMicVolume(), simply use it as a variable. Technically it's a function, but it returns a value which when then can use. So we can use it anywhere values are used such as operations, outputs, and calculations.

what do you do with these? it isent very clear.
After you did that you can use these functions as variables:
GetMicVolume()
BlowingInMic()
ClappedInMic()
GetMicFrequency()

you use them just like any variable. You can use them as conditions statements and ways to have interactive user support. Like let's say i made a game that would blow up a balloon if you are blowing into the microphone. I could use BlowinginMic() to do this, ex:

If BlowinginMic() == true
start block
create ballon
end block
