I would like my game to have semi-realistic sound, where the left/right channel volume depends on the position of the sound source within the world. I've looked and it seems that it's not possible with Löve2d or pygame. They modify the volume of a sound based on distance, but the left and right channels are identical. Am I wrong? Are there any other 2d game libraries that make this possible? |

There is no such thing as positional stereo sound. Audio in stereo formats are pre rendered audio scenes where the listener is at one specific position. It's basically a lot mono channels at different positions mixed together to one. So to get a high quality sound experience you would need all those mono channels and position them where they actually come from. (For example the drum sounds would come from the position where the drum stands, as simple as that.) You could also split the stereo audio file up into two mono sounds you put into different positions. That isn't realistic but maybe is a good approximation. |

Check out SFML (C++ or .net), supports 2D/3D sound spatialization. This is an old tutorial (2.0 changes API quite a bit), but it gives an example. The 2.0 documentation has functions for GetPosition and such, so it should be easy to implement. Edit: According to this and this, you are not wrong in thinking that the two mentioned libraries do not support what you want. |
