Implement Dynamic Audio System for Real-Time Sound Generation and Modification

[erematorg]

Problem Description

Creating immersive and diverse audio experiences for LP requires a vast number of audio files to cover various species, environments, and interactions. Managing and storing these files can be inefficient and resource-intensive.

Proposed Solution

Implement a dynamic audio system that generates and modifies sounds in real-time based on parameters such as species, gender, age, and environmental context. This system will use a base noise sound that can be tweaked to produce different types of sounds, reducing the need for a large library of pre-recorded audio files.

Alternatives Considered

• Pre-recorded Audio Files: Using a large library of pre-recorded sounds, which would be resource-intensive and less flexible.
• Procedural Sound Generation: Fully procedural sound generation for each unique sound, which may be too complex and computationally expensive.

Additional Context

The dynamic audio system will include the following components:

• Base Sound Generation System: Develop a system to generate base sounds that can be modified dynamically.
• Sound Modification Algorithms: Create algorithms to modify base sounds based on parameters such as species, gender, and age.
• Parameter Storage System: Develop a system to store and retrieve parameters for sound modification.
• Integration with GeneticAttributes and Entity Systems: Ensure the dynamic audio system integrates smoothly with existing GeneticAttributes and entity systems.
• Testing and Refinement: Conduct thorough testing and refine the sound quality and performance of the dynamic audio system.
• Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation for the dynamic audio system, including guidelines for adding and modifying sounds.
