ChantJS

A super simple way to preload audio files for use in web games.

Loading textures and audio always seems like a PITA when it comes to web games. So I created this simple JS script to take care of loading the audio files part. As you can see, it follows the KISS ethos of programming. Hope you find it useful. -Chroma

import Chant from '/js/chant.js';

async function preloadAudio() {
  Chant.addBundle('sounds', {
    spinner: 'assets/sounds/spinner-0.ogg',
    horn: 'assets/sounds/party-horn-0.ogg',
    pop: 'assets/sounds/pop-0.ogg'
  })
  
  sounds = await Chant.loadBundle('sounds');
  console.log('Sounds preload complete.');
}

async init() {
  await preloadAudio();
  sounds.spinner.volume = 0.7;
  sounds.spinner.play();
  // do something else (load textures?)
  // do another something else (load sprites?)
  // startGame();
}

window.onload(init());
