Sound class and word wrapping announced for Edge 2.95

Elements Interactive B.V. announces the addition of a sound class and word wrapping support to the upcoming release of multi-platform mobile game engine Edge SDK version 2.95.

The Edge SDK 2.95 release, concluding the 2.x version range, adds a platform independent sound class for playing both sound effects and MOD music files. The sound class is implemented as a wrapper class and provides an easy to use interface for existing multi-platform sound libraries.

Edge 2.95 will be equipped with a ready-to-use interface for the excellent and free available Hekkus Sound System by Thomas Maniero. Other sound libraries can be added by creating a custom wrapper interface. The default "silent" interface is also available if no external sound library is used.

Besides playing back and getting and setting the volume, the sound class includes additional features, such as cross-fading, improved loading and unloading of audio and enhanced minimizing and muting control.

Another addition to the SDK is a word wrap feature, to break long lines of text in multiple lines when drawing text using the new DrawFontWrap function. A parameter is available to set the desired width at which the text should wrap.

The new Edge SDK release also features improved platform support of the Edge IDE, a bugfix for the Bluetooth implementation on Symbian Series 80 and other enhancements and bugfixes.

The release of Edge SDK 2.95 is scheduled for mid December 2006. If you have questions or remarks about this forthcoming release, please contact us using the contact form on http://www.edgelib.com.

Note: All references made to product feature enhancements and release dates are subject to change.
