Currently, in the Lua SDK, printing a playdate.sound.sampleplayer object outputs the following to the terminal:
playdate.sound.sampleplayer: 0x7fc99b862628
It’d be great to have more content here, for example exposing the length, volume, rate, offset and paused status. Here’s a polyfill I'm using at the moment.
playdate.sound.sampleplayer.__tostring = function(this)
local output = "{\n"
output = output .. "\t[__name] = " .. this.__name .. ",\n"
output = output .. "\t[length] = " .. this:getLength() .. ",\n"
output = output .. "\t[offset] = " .. this:getOffset() .. ",\n"
output = output .. "\t[volume] = " .. this:getVolume() .. ",\n"
output = output .. "\t[rate] = " .. this:getRate() .. ",\n"
output = output .. "\t[isPlaying] = " .. tostring(this:isPlaying()) .. ",\n"
output = output .. "}"
return output
end
And here’s the output in the terminal:
{
[__name] = playdate.sound.sampleplayer,
[length] = 171.0552,
[offset] = 0.9333333,
[volume] = 1.0,
[rate] = 1.0,
[isPlaying] = true,
}
