How can I implement audio in my C++ game engine?

To implement audio in your C++ game engine, you can use libraries like OpenAL or FMOD. These libraries provide functions to load, play, and manage audio.

What are the advantages of using FMOD over OpenAL?

FMOD offers more advanced features like 3D audio, effects, and a user-friendly interface, making it easier for developers.

Can you give me a simple code example using FMOD?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

#include <fmod.hpp>

FMOD::System *system;
FMOD::Sound *sound;

system->createSound("audiofile.mp3", FMOD_DEFAULT, 0, &sound);
system->playSound(sound, 0, false, 0);

This code initializes FMOD and plays an audio file.

How do I handle multiple audio channels?

You can create multiple sound instances and manage them using FMOD's channel system. Each sound can be played on a different channel.
