Games often use sound effects to increase excitement. In this screencast, you will learnhow to add sound to your game that will play if the chaser catches the player. Watch thisscreencast to learn how to add sound, then try it on your own.
To start, click on Chaser 1, then the sounds tab. Select “choose sound from library.”
Test a few sounds by clicking on the play buttons.
Once you’ve found a sound you’d like your game to play when a chaser catches the player,select it and click “OK.”
Great! Now your project has sound, but, you still need to create the code that will tellthe computer when to play it.
In a previous screencast, you programmed an if statement to sense if the chaser was touchingthe player. You can use this same if statement to play the sound you just picked.
Click on the scripts tab, and click on Sound.
Drag out a "play sound" block from the sound menu, and place it in your block stack beforethe "say" block that makes the chaser say the time left in the game.
Remember, in computer science it’s important to test your code often to make sure it’sworking the way you want. Test your code now.
