Puppy Radio - CODING HELP REQUIRED/DEV FORUM

Mozboz

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/686667/ If you want to learn more go to that topic.

I have to code this radio before November to keep a partnership.
I need to make sure it's broadcasting audio files.
I need to allow users to join mid-broadcast.
Also, it needs to work with three radio stations.

Any ideas?

Have you started this project? If so, can you share it so I know what you have so far? If not, I can code it if you want.

You can't add music, but you may be able to broadcast text and use the TTS extension.

You will have to broadcast the text and a timestamp so that if any users join after a sound has started, they don't play the sound until another TTS broadcast occurs.

Oops, messed the list up.

The project isn't shared, or coded at all. You can help.

I have been wanting to use voice actors and actual people. Maybe I can name sounds “(drama number)-(line number)”. So each line is a sound, and it broadcasts which drama is being broadcasted in the “DRAMA” variable, and which line of the drama is being played in the “LINE” variable. Then, for a brief second it would say “1” in the “PLAY” variable, and then “0” afterwards. So while the “PLAY” variable is “1”, it will play the sound called “(DRAMA variable)-(LINE variable)”, and while the “LINE” variable is “0”, nothing will play. That way I can compromise! And I can play three stations at the same time.

That is basically what I was thinking of doing, I would just compile all three of those variables into one big cloud variable, which a different station being assigned to each variable. This allows you to have up to 10 stations.

How do I compile the variables into one cloud variable? The “DRAMA”, “LINE”, and “PLAY” variables are cloud, it's implied. And I only really want 3 stations and I can use those leftover variables for other things! Also, please use the quote button next time.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty good at cloud coding, so I figured I'd see where my skills could be put to use.

I have a few ideas:
For doing a mid brodcast you could split audio files into 15 second bits so you can set a scheduled program and it would play each segment in 15 second intervals so it wouldn't take long to tune into it
You can have 2 cloud variables for each station one for the segments and one for the times to play

I can help code some bits

working on games outside of scratch most of the time, still get on to check the forums tho
Need help with coding, bugs, art, or music?
click here to see a project that I made that I then ported from a calculator
Game I made for itch but finally put back into scratch without all the incompatible bits

That's kind of what the plan is so far. Read all of the page to get to speed.

maybe we could make the music play by sending different “pulses” through cloud variables and have puppy radio read them

yes

We record the audio files, put them in the project, then broadcast it. We don't record live.

that is good because then we wouldn't be able to send noise within the range of human hearing

yes

cloud variables don't have enough data to store incredible low quality sound if you use all ten cloud variables you would have 0.1 seconds of sound and as you go lower quality you can't hear it because the Khz would be so too small.

yes

Music can be broadcasted, it just must be split into many different audio files
