Detect Blowing into Mic

  If you're talking iOS and not Android, I see no reason why this wouldn't work in a plugin:

  You could send an event from the plugin from the levelTimerCallback() method.
  
  I'd have a go, but I'm not sure what the license is on using someone else's code, and uploading it as a Gideros plugin.

  Took a quick look at plugin, seems like it is pretty complicated to make one. (

  It takes a bit of dedication to learn how to write a plugin, yes, but once you have the concept it becomes easier.
  
  Do you know how to use C or C++ or Objective C?
  
  Are you writing for the iPhone or Android?

  For iPhone. Knows Objective-C a little. I am more familiar with C#.

  Actually, it was both more and less tricky, because atilim wrote most of the code for me yesterday , and the mobileorchard code doesn't work without an extra line, given by some wiz on stackoverflow.
  
  It's not really very satisfying, because it detects any noise rather than a blow, but I guess that working out what is a blow and what is noise requires a lot of sound analysis.
  
  To install:
  Attached you will find a plugin CBMicBlow.mm file and a main.lua.
  Create a new project, and bring in this main.lua into the project.
  Add the CBMicBlow.mm file to your Xcode project.
  Run the project on your iPhone (microphone doesn't work on simulator I don't think), and run the Gideros Studio project.
  
  (I think it's OK to post this code, as it's all over stackoverflow, but I'll take it down if it's not legit.)

  Wow.. Thanks.. Will check it out. If it works well, I might be really on my way to make my first game using Gideros.

  Did you try the code I posted just above? That works.
