1. Sound in Unit 70 GameMaker Project
For the GameMakerProjectwe created,soundswere incorporatedintothe game itself,astoadd
the properfeel agame shouldgive.
To start off,we had to pickthe correct and correspondingsoundsthatwouldfitforthe pieceswe
intendedthemfor,andassuch I chose a selectfew sounds,renamingthemfortheirpurposesand
placingtheminmy GameMakerfile- asshownbelow.
Withthese sounds,Ithenopened
GameMakerand my projectitself within
the GM software,and selectedthe filesthatIwantedtouse.Once done,I thenimportedtheminto
the systemthroughthe GM’s SoundUploading.
Once done,theyshowupas a menutool inthe GM mainmenu.
Once that issue wassorted,Inext,insteadof incorporating

scriptedthemdirectlyintothe game itself,thereforeshowing
complexity,butalsodiversityfromothers’ solutions,in
installingsoundintothe game.
The soundsI placedintothe scriptwere usedas an
executable piece of coding,whichwouldactivate as
