UPDATE: I used a different sound function in pygame to try to troubleshoot. This was my new program.
#pygame mixer testing
import pygame
pygame.init()
sound = pygame.mixer.music.load("jan_amit.wav")
This was the error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Will\Desktop\Programming\Python\Programs\shmup\snd\pygame mixer testing.py", line 5, in <module>
pygame.mixer.music.load("jan_amit.wav")
pygame.error: Unknown WAVE data format
How do change a wav data format?
(OLD POST)---I'm a beginner, and I'm trying to learn how to use pygame. However, when I try to load sounds into my game with pygame.mixer.Sound() I get this error:
C:\Users\Will\Desktop\Programming\Python\Programs\shmup\snd\bullet_shoot.wav
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Will\Desktop\Programming\Python\Programs\shmup\shmup.py", line 127, in <module>
shoot_sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(path.join(snd_dir,"bullet_shoot.wav"))
pygame.error: Unable to open file 'C:\\Users\\Will\\Desktop\\Programming\\Python\\Programs\\shmup\\snd\\bullet_shoot.wav'
[Finished in 6.5s]
It appears that somehow this pygame function is inserting an additional backslash next to every other backslash. So to troubleshoot, I printed out to the string I was feeding into the function. Sure enough, single backslashes.
C:\Users\Will\Desktop\Programming\Python\Programs\shmup\snd\bullet_shoot.wav
Here is the complete code, because I'm unsure of what's going on.
