nifty-gui

The feature to play soundeffects and probably music in Nifty was in the back of my head from the very beginning. And today I’ve added it and it worked like a breeze

Well, at first I went for something like adding it parallel to visual effects. Something like that:

<element>
  ...
  <effect>
    <onstartscreen name="fade"></onstartscreen>
  </effect>
  <onclicksound name="bleep"></onclicksound>
</element>

But then it occurred to me, that a sound *effect* is only a special kind of an effect! So I’ve quickly added a new kind of an effect: “PlaySound” and voila:

<element>
  ...
  <effect>
    <onstartscreen name="fade"></onstartscreen>
    <onclick name="playSound" sound="bleep"></onclick>
  </effect>
</element>

Feels good. Looks good. Is good. Was very quick to implement too!

Sometimes life is good!
