Subject: Sound without having to download DirectX 8

Kelvin,
I was thinking about your solution to adding sound to an application and
thought that there must be an easier way to play wave files than downloading
a 100Mb SDK. Did a little research and came up with an incredibly easy way
to produce sound. The zip file that I am attaching is exactly the same as my
MP4 homework with some very slight changes. They are as follows:
1. In project settings... link, I added a link to winmm.lib
2. In my MP4GameModel.cpp file I added two new includes at the beginning of
the file:
     #include <windows.h>
     #include <mmsystem.h>
3. In my createNewInsect function (in MP4GameModel.cpp), I added a function
call to PlaySound()
4. The PlaySound function plays a wave file (and allows me to do it
asynchronously with the SND_ASYNC flag)

If you compile this project and copy the ding.wav file to the debug folder,
it should play the ding every time you create a new insect.

Hows that for easy!!!!!
