Implementing openal to game

 So. After Sources Sharing Buffers lesson 5 at your site i have made a class. And then implemented in two different classes as described below. The interesting part is that it is working, but the sad that it isn't working correct. I'm new in ( at ) Java at all so my brain ( experiences ) won't see out of this so called "my brain loop".

 I'm here to ask you for any advice and that would be really, really appreciated.

Thanks a lot. Regards Andrew ( hrenovka :-) ).

else if (key == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE) {
			if (System.currentTimeMillis() - lastPressProcessed > 1000) {
				
				GameFrame.addMissle(new Missle(x, y - 5));
				contest = new contest();
				contest.initOpenAL();
				contest.loadALData();
				contest.addSource(0);
				lastPressProcessed = System.currentTimeMillis();
				
				}

GameFrame.removeEnemy(this);
				GameFrame.removeMissle(m);
				contest = new contest();
				contest.initOpenAL();
				contest.loadALData();
				contest.addSource(1);
				contest.addSource(2);

Hi

If you want to use JOAL but without having to understand the low level concepts, rather use Paul Lamb Sound System like me. I don't understand what is wrong. What's your problem?

You should re-design your application to only initialize OpenAL and load the samples at start-up, you only need to initialize it once!
If you have a different class that needs to play audio make sure this class can access the already initialized "contest".

When your application start do:
                                contest = new contest();
                                contest.initOpenAL();
                                contest.loadALData();


When you create a new class that needs to play audio give it access to the "contest" using its constructor.

GameInputHandler handler = new GameInputHandler(contest);


And inside this GameInputHandler use the already initialized "contest":

else if (key == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE) {
                        if (System.currentTimeMillis() - lastPressProcessed > 1000) {
                                GameFrame.addMissle(new Missle(x, y - 5));
                                contest.addSource(0);

GameFrame.removeEnemy(this);
                                GameFrame.removeMissle(m);
                                contest.addSource(1);
                                contest.addSource(2);


You can also take a look at the main of lession5
http://jogamp.org/joal-demos/www/devmaster/lesson5.html
and see that OpenAl only needs to be initialized once.

If you need further help publish the complete source-code, under a free software license, for your game.
