anotherworld Audio on Linux

This is so much fun! :) I just wanted to let you know that {beepr} works on Linux. If you check beepr:::play_file you'll see that it tries several commands, such as paplay (from pulseaudio-utils), aplay (from alsa-utils) or even vlc. pw-play (from pipewire-utils) may be available in more up-to-date systems. ffplay (from ffmpeg) is another candidate, and I noticed that I have play installed too, from package sox. Hope it helps.

Thanks @Enchufa2! Could you try the latest release on linux?

I added 'beepr' playback for systems detected as unix, but have no way to test.

Sound is working on Ubuntu! I am still dying...

Thanks @daniel-j-miller

I'll leave this issue open to remind myself to pull the "play_file()" out of beepr and include in this repo.

It feels a bit bad to be using the triple-colon ::: to access beepr:::play_file()

Working fine here on Fedora too!

And why is there no music? Is the asset missing or is it a technical issue?

Jul 28 '22 14:07 Enchufa2

@Enchufa2 I haven't looked at music yet.

I don't have any sound on my end, and I tested on different distros. Should I install some specific package in Linux for that?

@ekianjo please read the first comment in this thread.

This game relies on 'beepr' for sound, so get that working on your machine first.

sorry about my issue, it's actually working, I tried on a different Linux machine and it was fine.
