The PLAY function returns the number of remaining seconds in the background music queue.


Syntax

remaining# = PLAY(voice&)


Parameters

  • remaining# is the number of seconds left to play in the background music queue.
  • voice& can be any numeric expression. It indicates for which tone voice channel the number of seconds remaining is to be returned. If voice& is not in [0-3], the queue for voice 0 is returned.
  • See also the important version dependent notes in the Availability section.


Description

  • This function may be used to detect, if the background music queue is still playing.
  • When there is nothing left to play, then this function returns zero.


Availability

  • v0.934

    v0.934

  • v3.1.0

    v3.1.0

  • Apix.png
  • yes

    yes

  • yes

    yes

  • yes

    yes

  • In QB64 and early QB64-PE, this was just implemented as stub function which always returned zero.
  • Since QB64-PE v3.1.0 the function is fully implemented, but unlike QuickBASIC, in QB64-PE this function does not return the number of notes left, but the number of audio samples.
  • Since QB64-PE v3.8.0, if voice& is a number other than zero, then the function will return the amount of time (seconds) left to play.
  • Multi-voice support was introduced in QB64-PE v4.0.0.
  • Since QB64-PE v4.0.0, the function will return the amount of time (seconds) left to play for the tone voice channel specified.


Examples

Example 1
Using PLAY with a single voice.
