Sound and Music Integration
We have now achieved good enough graphics quality, but we are missing an important part of the game aesthetics: the sound. Often relegated to being the last step in game development, sound is one of those things that if it’s there, you won’t notice its presence, but if you don’t have it, you will feel that something is missing. It will help you to reinforce the ambience you want in your game and must match the graphical setting.
In this chapter, we will examine the following sound concepts:
- Importing audio
- Integrating and mixing audio
We will apply those concepts in our game to import the audio to play in different scenarios—such as when the player shoots—and the music. Later in the programming chapters, we will play sounds, but for now, let’s focus on how to import them into our project.
