howler.js VS Elm

I don’t have any references on hand but I know what you’re talking about and have created similar stuff using https://howlerjs.com

Hi /r/react. I'm fairly new to react and I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. I've built a web-based audio player that pulls tracks from a secure backend, and uses howler.js to play the audio.

Take a look at the howler library.

Lightweight and performant: It uses only the core of howler.js, a popular JavaScript audio library for the modern web. Howler.js handles all the edge cases and bugs across browsers and platforms, supports all codecs for full cross-browser compatibility, and caches sounds for better performance.

https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js Howler is a nice high level wrapper for the web audio api. I’ve found it to work well for similar cases

Open Prompt from js import alert, prompt, localStorage, window, confirm, Audio import time import random import re horn = Audio.new("https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js/blob/master/examples/3d/assets/sprite.mp3?raw=true") def promptMe(): user_answer = str(prompt("play? (yes) or (no)")) if user_answer.lower() == 'yes': horn.play() print('yes') print('end')

horn = Audio.new("https://github.com/goldfire/howler.js/blob/master/examples/3d/assets/sprite.mp3?raw=true")

Thanks. The spatial audio is just a feature of the excellent https://howlerjs.com/.

But I added MIDI keyboard support to the secret fart piano recently and thus Firefox throws up a scary warning. It's now disabled unless you access https://frt.rip#midi. But you can also use your computer keyboard to play/fart a little tune, see Web Inspector for instructions :)

When it comes to playing music in the Browser my go to library is https://howlerjs.com/. It uses Web Audio API and falls back to HTML5 Audio in older browsers.

Elm [1] is based on a similar idea. Build your app from pure functions that return HTML tags.

You also wouldn't really be creating your own new programing language. You would be creating something that can run JavaScript by following JavaScript standards and syntax. You might be able to add some non-standard features of your own on top of those standards, or include your own standard library of helpers or utilities, but you can't completely make a new or alternative language and then load it in the browser (or at least not by reimplementing ECMAScript standards... you actually can make your own language that runs within any Javascript enviroment, if you provide an interpreter or compiler that transforms it into valid JS. Some people have done something like this, eg Elm: https://elm-lang.org/).

You should at least have a look at https://elm-lang.org/ it is a pure functional language like Haskell (although with fewer fancy syntax/type classes) but it has some lovely libraries for visualisation and even with plain elm (+ elm-ui) doing string transformations can be easily done.

I get it. However, the whole point of using Unions to narrow your types, ensure only a set of possible scenarios can occur, and only access data of a particular union when it’s safe to do so. That’s some of what pattern matching can provide, and 100% of what using switch statements in TypeScript with their Discriminated Unions can provide. Yes, it’s not 100% exhaustive, but TypeScript is not soundly typed, and even Elm which is still has the same issue TypeScript does: You’re running in JavaScript where anything is possible. So it’s good enough to build with and much better than what you had.

The beauty of a language like Elm (and other lambda-calculus / functional programming inspired languages) is that there's very little transformation involved in going from an idea to code. And that seems to have a big impact on getting things done.

I think the most fun and approachable way for beginners to build games with functional programming is with Elm [1].

See a few (small, demo) games built by the community in [2] .

Notice Elm has abandoned the FRP approach in favor of Model-View-Update [3].
