Some guidance in order to have a POC running #2

Hi, first of all I am a newbie in Rust.

If I understand correctly, these are bindings for calling the libopenmpt dll straight away from Rust. Meaning that a module song can be played from Rust.

If my assumptions are correct, could you give me some hints to have a minimal example in Rust for playing a module file?

I guess an audio lib would be still needed to play the audio generated by libopenmpt?

Thank you in advance!

PD: Can I ask why you did this project? are you using it on another piece of opensource software?

I never tested this library on windows, so I'm not sure if it works there. But yeah, these bindings are for directly calling into openmpt from Rust.

I'll try adding an example to the repo.

Yes, you also need an audio lib. A popular audio playback library for rust is cpal.

I used it for a few of my games, none of which were ever finished/released unfortunately.

I am sorry to hear that, I hope you can finish them some day.

Thank you for that!!! I also want to think that nothing stops the code from being compatible with Windows (I am a Windows user currently), so I will try to make your example work in case you don't have a Windows box around

I added an example Feel free to try it out and let me know if you run into any trouble!

By the way, you should take a look at the documentation for the libopenmpt C API. This crate is just direct Rust bindings to that API.

Example works like a charm (on win), thank you ❤️
