digging more into HTML5 game dev

For the past few days I was doing some research on audio usage in HTML5-Apps and came across www.html5gamedevs.com.

This is a vast resource and contains any of the stuff I couldn’t make clear by myself. For example: What fileformat should I use for music and sfx?

Answer so far: ogg and m4a for background music (never mp3 for it loops badly) and for short sfx either also ogg/m4a or wav. See discussion: http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/2288-should-i-stick-to-wav-file-format/ 

Also I there are many many game frameworks listed. Now I’m trying out Phaser, which also provides an audio API - means, that VIRTTRUHE will now make use of “WebAudio”, if the browser supports it. Until now it used the normal html5 <audio> tag.

This may be enough for basic audio usage, but the advanced WebAudio can e.g. add reverb or create 3D sound positioning *_*
