A sprouting integration of the Firewheel audio engine for Bevy.

Getting started

First, you'll need to add the dependency to your Cargo.toml. Note that you'll need to disable Bevy's bevy_audio feature, meaning you'll need to specify quite a few features manually!

[dependencies]
bevy_seedling = "0.3"
bevy = { version = "0.15", default-features = false, features = [
  "animation",
  "bevy_asset",
  "bevy_color",
  "bevy_core_pipeline",
  "bevy_gilrs",
  "bevy_gizmos",
  "bevy_gltf",
  "bevy_mesh_picking_backend",
  "bevy_pbr",
  "bevy_picking",
  "bevy_render",
  "bevy_scene",
  "bevy_sprite",
  "bevy_sprite_picking_backend",
  "bevy_state",
  "bevy_text",
  "bevy_ui",
  "bevy_ui_picking_backend",
  "bevy_window",
  "bevy_winit",
  "custom_cursor",
  "default_font",
  "hdr",
  "multi_threaded",
  "png",
  "smaa_luts",
  "sysinfo_plugin",
  "tonemapping_luts",
  "webgl2",
  "x11",
] }

Then, you'll need to add the SeedlingPlugin to your app.

use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_seedling::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::default()
        .add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, SeedlingPlugin::default()))
        .run();
}

Once you've set it all up, playing sounds is easy!

fn play_sound(mut commands: Commands, server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    // Play a sound!
    commands.spawn(SamplePlayer::new(server.load("my_sample.wav")));

    // Play a sound... with effects :O
    commands
        .spawn((
            SamplePlayer::new(server.load("my_ambience.wav")),
            PlaybackSettings::LOOP,
        ))
        .effect(LowPassNode::new(500.0));
}

The crate docs provide an overview of bevy_seedling's features, and the repository's examples should help you get up to speed on common usage patterns.
