Randomly beep sounds during a timer countdown

Other
#1

Hello,

I have a problem with my app and i need your help.  What I want to achieve is the following. I have a timer and during the countdown (before the countdown achieves zero value), i want to play a series of beep (sound). The number of iteration to play the beep series is random and the delay to start playing the beep sounds series is also random. I have already write the code to do those things (please, watch the Beep() function).

What i want is the following!

Step 1: Start the timer

Step 2: Play the beep sound series. It will start to play at a random delay and will have a random iteration (my function Beep)

Step 3: Make a pause of the beep sounds function (random seconds)

Step 4: if the countdown is active again (with a value different of zero) so repeat the Step 2 and Step 3. These two steps will stop only if the countdown achieves zero

My problem is step 3 and step 4. Can you help me with that please? Thanks for your next reply

Here is my test code.

local son\_beep=audio.loadSound("beep.wav"); local duree\_round\_restant=60; local function Beep() local beep\_delay=math.random(3000,7000) function declencherBeep() local beep\_iteration=math.random(2,5) timer.performWithDelay(1000, function() audio.play(son\_beep); end, beep\_iteration) end timer.performWithDelay(beep\_delay, declencherBeep) end local function updateDureeRound() duree\_round\_restant=duree\_round\_restant-1 minutesDureeRound=math.floor(duree\_round\_restant/60) secondesDureeRound=duree\_round\_restant % 60 local time=string.format( "%02d:%02d", minutesDureeRound, secondesDureeRound) duree\_round\_value.text=time end duree\_round\_value=display.newText("00:00", display.contentCenterX, 80, native.systemFont,55) Beep() timer.performWithDelay(1000, updateDureeRound, duree\_round\_restant);

Hello le [FR]  :wink:

First you beep function is played only once on your code. You have to insert it in the updateDureeRound function to be played 60 times.

local son\_beep=audio.loadSound("sons/bip.mp3"); local duree\_round\_restant=60; local tim=timer.performWithDelay( math.random(3000,5000) , function ( event ) local count=event.count event.source.\_delay=math.random(3000,5000) -- changing the initial (supposed fixed value) timing value timer.performWidthDelay(1000, function() audio.play(son\_beep) end, math.random(3,5) ) -- be careful : if the delay is LOWER that the time for repeating the sound, it will "over-ride" him. -- So, puts limitations. updateText() -- update your text, and use the count value end, duree\_round\_restant)

For the random pause, it’s

timer.performWidthDelay( randomTime,function()  timer.pause(tim) end )
