## How to use

### Include gradle dependencies

Native dependencies needs to be included in `core`, `android`, `ios` and `desktop` submodules.

#### Core

```groovy
dependencies {
	api "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion"
}
```

#### Android
Min SDK Required is `Android 24`

```groovy
dependencies {
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-armeabi-v7a"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-arm64-v8a"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-x86"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-x86_64"
}
```

<details>
  <summary>Until v0.5</summary>

```groovy
dependencies {
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-armeabi-v7a"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-arm64-v8a"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-x86"
    natives "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-x86_64"
}
```
</details>

#### iOS

Min iOS Required is `15.0`

```groovy
dependencies {
    implementation "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-ios"
}
```

<details>
  <summary>Until v0.5</summary>

```groovy
dependencies {
    implementation "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-ios"
}
```
</details>

#### Desktop

```groovy
dependencies {
    implementation "games.rednblack.miniaudio:gdx-miniaudio-platform:$miniaudioVersion:natives-desktop"
}
```

<details>
  <summary>Until v0.5</summary>

```groovy
dependencies {
    implementation "games.rednblack.miniaudio:miniaudio:$miniaudioVersion:natives-desktop"
}
```
</details>

### Usage

Usage of MiniAudio Engine is straightforward.

```java
public class Main implements ApplicationListener {
    MiniAudio miniAudio;
    MASound maSound;
    AssetManager assetManager;
    
    @Override
    public void create() {
        //Create only one MiniAudio object!
        miniAudio = new MiniAudio();
        
        //Play simple audio
        int res = miniAudio.playSound("piano2.wav");
        //res contains result code, check it for errors with
        //games.rednblack.miniaudio.MAResult class

//Create and load a sound without starting it
        maSound = miniAudio.createSound("piano2.wav");
        // .. sound customization ...
        maSound.play();
        
        //AssetManager Loader
        assetManager = new AssetManager();
        assetManager.setLoader(MASound.class, new MASoundLoader(miniAudio, assetManager.getFileHandleResolver()));
        assetManager.load("game.ogg", MASound.class);
        // ... load as usual ...
        
        //Load from byte array
        FileHandle file = ...;
        byte[] data = file.readBytes(); //any supported bytes (e.g. mp3, wav, etc.)
        MAAudioBuffer decodedBuffer = miniAudio.decodeBytes(data, 2);
        maSound = miniAudio.createSound(decodedBuffer);
        maSound.setLinkedAudioBuffer(decodedBuffer); //Important!
    }

@Override
    public void dispose() {
        //Always dispose everything! First all sounds and then the engine
        maSound.dispose();
        //If MASounds are loaded with the AssetManager be sure to dispose it first
        assetManager.dispose();
        
        miniAudio.dispose();
    }

@Override
    public void pause() {
        miniAudio.stopEngine();
    }

@Override
    public void resume() {
        miniAudio.startEngine();
    }
}
```

#### Android additions

If current platform is Android, native AssetManager object needs to be injected to `MiniAudio` engine.
Refers to [Interfacing with platform specific code](https://libgdx.com/wiki/app/interfacing-with-platform-specific-code).

```java
miniAudio.setupAndroid(Context#getAssets());
```

You can safely pass `null` on other platforms.

### Proguard Rules
If your Java code is obfuscated, be sure to keep required JNI methods.

```
-keepclassmembers class games.rednblack.miniaudio.MiniAudio {
    public void on_native_sound_end(long);
    public void on_native_log(int, java.lang.String);
    public void on_native_notification(int);
    public void on_native_visualizer(long, float[], int, int);
}
```

### Effects Graph

MiniAudio comes with a powerful effects system based on graph design.

                                                   +-----------------+
```

```java
MASplitter splitter = new MASplitter(miniAudio);
MALowPassFilter lowPassFilter = new MALowPassFilter(miniAudio, 550, 8);
MADelayNode delayNode = new MADelayNode(miniAudio, 0.25f, 0.45f);

miniAudio.attachToEngineOutput(lowPassFilter, 0);
miniAudio.attachToEngineOutput(delayNode, 0);

lowPassFilter.attachToThisNode(splitter, 0);
delayNode.attachToThisNode(splitter, 1);

splitter.attachToThisNode(maSound, 0);

maSound.loop();
```

## TODO

- Blocking Stream PCM data (like libGDX specs - maybe)

- MiniAudio has tons of additional features, open a issue to request more bindings
