If you give it the size of the whole file, then it will write the whole file, easy. It makes your job easy as you doesn't have to loop byte per byte. The code speaks for itself, no explaination is needed. But you must first create a file using CreateFile(), after you finished writing the data, then close it using CloseFile(). I think that the code speaks for itself, nothing too complex there, except for one. WriteData(*StartFile, *EndFile - *StartFile)ĬreateIncludeFile("canon.mid", ?StartFile_frunlog, ?EndFile_frunlog) Procedure CreateIncludeFile(Name.s, *StartFile, *EndFile) Pure Basic makes it easy to embed data into your.

There is a midi.pbi written by a very helpful person, but I don't know his name. So before I went into some long code, I want to cover music first.įirst, I will give credits where it's due. 1 - graphics programming with Pure Basic is easy. NOTE: I stray away from Polaris' tutorial for a reason. If your idea of music is techno, electronic, etc - this file format might be useless, but having access to a lot of real world musical intruments, and writing tunes & melody using notation software, or MIDI hardware - for a small size file, IT IS GREAT! The MIDI file format is alive, well, and NOT updated means something - it can stand the test of time. If you think that MIDI is dead, think again. It's still a good way to add a music to your demos.
