Default Re: Dommunion (a program to play a notification sound at every new turn)

I was messing with the idea abit. My brother-in-law has a habit of doing fast turns and then reading a book so we often end up having to call him or something to remind him that we are waiting for him to do a turn.

I was going to test and see if --postexec would work or if it was just at the host end. I also did some trial and error and was unhappy to discover that the programs for playing a sound arent even the same across different Versions of windows much less other OS's.

The best I could come up with would be a program that will watch for trn files to change in the games directory and play a sound. I started doing a search to see if one already existed but dropped it at that point.
