Three patches, and the last of the sounds that were asked for. The thruster bangs when it lights and rumbles while it burns. The rumble is this game's first HELD note: its gate goes down when a thruster lights and does not come up until every one is out. Only the edges matter - a rumble restruck every frame would never get past its own attack, and a bang struck every frame is a buzz - and the condition is the flames': a held button with a dry tank is a pilot doing nothing. Arriving latches two notes quickly. Middle C then the C above for taking hold of the station, the same pair reversed for letting go, and two octaves lower for the ground - the same shape in a different register, because setting down and taking hold are the same kind of event. The second note is PENDING rather than played: at an undocking the pilot is mid-burn, and stopping the world for an eighth of a second to fit a note in would be felt as the controls sticking. Where the game is stopping anyway, runPend simply pumps it out. Four channels for five sounds. The bang and the latch share one, because a lander arriving either arrives or does not, and a crash ends the run. That leaves the thruster its two, which it needs: a held note struck on the same channel as the ignition bang would cut the bang off at the moment it was meant to be heard. ---- A held note outlives the loop that was holding it ---- Landing while the thruster was still down ended the flying and then waited to be told the message had been read, so the frame that would have noticed the button coming up never ran. The engine roared under the verdict and went on roaring until the machine stopped. Anything that stops to wait hushes it now, and forgets last frame with it, so a thruster still held when the waiting ends counts as lighting again. ---- Three checks that had to be rebuilt around the new noise ---- A landing is not silent any more, so the crash is measured against the second BEFORE it rather than against a quiet landing. The dust samples moved eight frames later, because the latch plays first. And the warning check lost its measure twice: counting bursts could not tell a beep from a nag, and measuring total length stopped working the day the thruster got a rumble. It burns, stops, and listens AFTER - warned once there is nothing left, nagging the last beep is still fading. Nought against 5,679.
