I explored a lot of prototyping and ideas here. But what I have now is almost a total rewrite and has it's own thread here viewtopic.php?t=7929

Uploaded newest update to my Google Drive. This is getting much closer to final look and Feel. Dynamic Menus and loading new books not yet enabled, I do have a few of the building blocks in place. This is about a 550mb download and about 1.8gb unzipped.
Here is the Link:

I also uploaded this update to Raven's BBS
Changed unzipped size to 1.8 gb's. That previous 3gb figure was MY Books directory that also has two of the zips in it
The bug was at the end of the book When playing the very last Audio files. I've got it fixed.
ADDENDUM: You should not download this if installing the ALICE Update from the BBS. The Error fixes are rolled in on that. This is still under development so It's not going to be smooth... This is ALPHA or at best Very Early BETA software.
Posting here the first iteration of Volume Control
Code state is ALPHA.
2 full Audio Books are included, Bram Stoker's DRACULA & Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, also included is the DARWIN Chapter I previously uploaded in DEMOSCENE. They are selectable via Menu.
Most of the core code is done. (The Frankenstein Book doesn't play the PREFACE. Thats on the FIX list)
MENU is just a Hard coded Place Holder to select the 3 books I have done. This is the part that needs most refinement. The finished app will have a dynamic Menu.
Book Controls are not on screen.
BOOK CONTROLS
F1 - Toggles Graphics/Text Display
SPACEBAR - Pauses / UnPauses
ESC - Exits book with Y/N confirmation.
Both Exit and Pause will wait for the Current Audio Buffer to finish playing.
(Audio Buffers are approx. 6 seconds long)
Auto book marking and resume is enabled. (This will be able to be toggled when the code is more refined).
Currently if you want to restart a book you have to let it play to end or go into it's directory and delete BOOK.MARK
I'm still waiting for permission to upload to the Forum. But Jimmy Dansbo has provided a CX16 share folder on the cloud.
VCONTROL_ALPHA1 is available at https://cloud.dansbo.dk/index.php/s/FPT ... ALPHA1.zip
