Sound
Sound effect object for short audio clips.
Overview
The Sound class handles short audio effects that load entirely into memory. Sounds can be played multiple times simultaneously and have low latency, making them ideal for game effects like footsteps, UI clicks, and combat sounds.
Quick Reference
# Load and play a sound effect
hit_sound = mcrfpy.Sound("assets/audio/hit.wav")
hit_sound.volume = 75
hit_sound.play()
# Looping ambient sound
ambient = mcrfpy.Sound("assets/audio/wind.ogg")
ambient.loop = True
ambient.play()
# Check status
print(f"Duration: {hit_sound.duration}s")
