Figuring out sound in C++ in 4 hours?

[CrewXp]

Hey, I'm working on a project for one of my classes, and we get extra credit for adding sound. I've tried tons of examples on the internet, but most of them were complicated and hard to understand.

Does anyone know how I can add ANY type of sound to my project before I turn it in, in 4 hours? Wav, Midi, Mp3, WMA. Anything.

Something that will easily fit into a basic script.

//Some Functions
//More Functions

int main()
}
//Code
return 0;
}

Anything

Beep( 750, 300 );

lol wow.. I knew that word would make someone do that. That's why I added "Wav, Midi, Mp3, WMA. Anything."

Yeah.. beep's are my last resort. Any ideas?

thats like the first thing I've tried. The simple approach.

But I get this error after compiling:

1>c:\users\crewxp\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\spiralproject\spiralproject\main.cpp(624) : error C2664: 'PlaySoundW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [21]' to 'LPCWSTR'

1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

nvm! figured it out. I had to change from unicode to multi-bytee

[piccaso]

Looks like you compiled unicode.

if you want to use unicode you have to use a unicode string...

now all i need is some relaxing or fun game-background wav files

Why so complicated?

Look at Autoit built-in function SoundPlay
