Basic Playroutine

[Fabrizio Radica]

HI 
i've a little question 

We have a play-routine to play music in basic? For an intro game for example.
If yes, how i implement it in basic?

I learned how to load (and save like screenshots) .SCR in to ram, but i don't know how to play musics.
I would not want to use the sound command 

thanks in advance and long life to CPC

Ah, well.

Take i.e. "Dune" asm.

 You assemble it in emulator to memory
then you can save it  from BASIC - SAVE"DUNE.BIN",B,&8000,&51E

In your BASIC-Game you set

MEMORY &7FFF

and

LOAD"dune.bin",&8000

and if you want the music to play: CALL &8000. now it plays "infinite" until you CALL &8003.

It seems like you do with the asm c64.

jsr 1000 ;init SID
jsr 1003 ;playSID

tnx, i try.

Earlier I found a BASIC game which allowed @Morri to use in their Coolbox game I think.
