SFML Game Development By Example

The sound listener component

In order to properly implement spatial sounds, there has to be a listener within our game world. That listener is, of course, the player of the game. Fortunately, there isn't a lot of information we need to process or store when creating a component for an audio listener:

class C_SoundListener : public C_Base{
public:
    C_SoundListener() : C_Base(Component::SoundListener){}
    void ReadIn(std::stringstream& l_stream){}
private:

};

Yes, that's it! In its most essential form, this class simply represents a sign that its owner entity should be treated as a listener in the auditory world.
