Title: SDL_mixer and static Mix_Music structure
Post by: fog76 on April 13, 2012: Hi all,
i wanted to know if it was possible to convert a .mod file into a .h file to have a small music stored directly into the executable file.

I mean something like this:

Code: [Select]
//into .h file static Mix_Music *MyMusic = {0XFF, 0XBA, 0XCC.... and so on
to be simply called into main.cc in a similar manner:

Code: [Select]
Mix_PlayMusic(MyMusic, -1);
My idea is to create an executable file that contains within it the piece of music that should sound. In your opinion what is possible using SDL_mixer? And how can convert a .mod file into a .h file?

Thanks to all!

That looks like a handy tool Ferris. Disk and RAM editing sounds especially cool :)
