Beep is a minimal cross-platform sound playback library. All it does is beeping at the given frequency for the given duration of time.
- Good old C89 code with globals.
- Very small, ~100 lines of code for all platforms.
- Easy to use, API is a single blocking function.
- Uses ALSA on Linux, CoreAudio on macOS and Beep() WINAPI function on Windows.
The API is the following:
int beep(int frequency, int duration);Frequency is in Hz, duration is in milliseconds. To convert note index into a frequency use the following formula: 440 * pow(2, ((note - 49) / 12)).
There is a also a beep utility which shows how the API can be used.
If you found an issue or would like to propose a feature - PRs are welcome as long as they are small and simple!
