Stone Sound #19

Closed ryanb closed 13 years ago

ryanb commented 13 years ago

The "clack" when placing a Go stone on the board is iconic. It would be great if this was in the app. I'm not certain the best way to implement the sound. I'd rather not use Flash, Java or QuickTime. Any way to do it straight through HTML 5? Time to research.

Along these lines, there should also be a sound for chat messages when they come in and a sound saying "I Pass" or "I Resign" when passing or resigning. There should also be a button for turning the sound off.

I've got this mostly working, but Safari doesn't keep the file in memory so it needs to load it from the server every time. Disabled the stone sound until I can find a way to cache the sound.

fixing sound, turns out it was a problem in development because Mongrel doesn't support returning content in a range of bytes like Safari requires for HTML 5 sound - closed by 4417932c904bbb2e20a9164a563080c9250d7b74
