I've been quiet the past month and a half, but I haven't stopped working. I'm still working on the tutorial series for jme3 and I'll hopefully get the next article up in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I made a fun little soundboard app!
Universal Sound Board
Instead of making a keybinding for every sound file you want to play (ctrl-h for hello.wav, ctrl-g for goodbye.wav) with this soundboard you can make custom "key combos" that lead to your desired sound. Turn on the key-capture with a user defined key (ctrl-v by default) and enter the combo for your sound. This lets you make as many sounds as you want in easy to remember combos! ctrl-v, h for hello, ctrl-v ty for thank you. The possibilities are endless.
The only restriction is you cannot assign a sound "passed" another sound. If you have "h" as hello, you couldn't make "hg" as goodbye, since it'll start playing "hello" first! I suggest you make your combos at least 1 or 2 letters deep to prevent them from stepping on eachother. g-h and g-g could be "hello" and "goodbye" respectively, and you could still use "h" seperately, or as the start of even more combos.
I hope some of you find this interesting and make some fun soundboards. Install a virtual audio cable for twice the fun ;)
