Basic effect generator

[Rock_Hardbuns]

I made a rudimentary effect synthesizer and sound manager. It's convenient for arcade type games and such. The sound is deliberately a bit distorted, for a little retro vibe.

SoundMan* sm = new SoundMan();

int zap = sm->createNoise( 5000, 0.0f, 1.0f, false);

int pew = sm->createBeep( 5000, 2000.0f, 50.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, true);

Nice! You should put it on the wiki, too. What's the license on it, btw?

Public domain.

I haven't tried to figure the wiki out yet, but if someone else want to post it, that's fine with me.
