play .wav files in desmos
Ship #1
Pending review
.wav to desmos converter shipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm proud that it actually works, using numpy Fourier stuff was kinda hard
that's basically it

ok so I’m sure you’ve seen people make a bunch of stuff on Desmos, bad apple, minecraft, but somehow playing audio was like the one thing that hadn’t been done (from what I saw), so I decided to make desmos audio
All it is is a single python script. desmos only allows you to make sound by choosing frequencies to play instead of how .wav files work with holding the actual air pressure data. I could’ve used mp3s, since they were in the same format as desmos uses with frequencies, but I didn’t feel like learning how to decompress all the data, so I just went with wavs.
It works by using the Fourier Transform every fraction of a second to find the loudest frequencies and their volumes (I don’t actually know how the Fourier transform works, I’m still a junior lol, I just imported using numpy). Desmos freaks out if you have more than like 500 frequencies (most sounds have thousands) so I had to only play the loudest frequencies to make it work, although this means it isn’t as accurate.
I made the script easy for users so that you can customize the quality settings and the audio that is being played. I also made a template at https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yccglkqkej to make it easier too
(Note: the audio and video in the video shown are spliced together for less lag)
