AudioManager

Description: The AudioManager class handles loading, managing, and playing audio assets in a VertexEngine game. Audio files are loaded once and cached for efficient reuse. Supported formats include .mp3 and .ogg.

Example: Usage

from VertexEngine.assets import AudioManager

# Load audio files
AudioManager.load_sound("click", "assets/audio/click.ogg")
AudioManager.load_music("theme", "assets/audio/theme.mp3")

# Play audio
AudioManager.play_sound("click")
AudioManager.play_music("theme")

Managed Audio Types

Sound effects (short audio clips)
Music (longer background tracks)

Common Methods

load_sound(name, path) — Loads a sound effect
load_music(name, path) — Loads background music
play_sound(name) — Plays a sound effect
