The document discusses adding sounds to a top-down side scroller game created in Game Maker. It describes creating sound resources in the resources tab, selecting audio files, and attaching sounds like ambient wind to specific objects like a plane so they only play when that object is active. Successfully adding sounds involves creating the sound resources, selecting audio files, and correctly attaching sounds to objects so they play during game events.

1. I picked A top down side scroller from the Game Maker demo tab and I decided to add 3 sounds
to it; Ambient air as you fly through the sky, explosion sounds when you shoot down someone
or get shot down and a gun shot sound.
Wind
explosion
Gun fire

2. To add any sounds to the game you must first create them. Open the resources tab and click
Create Sound. A Sound Properties window will pop up.

3. When the sound window opens, click on the file directory next to the name of your sound and
find the file you want to use and click ok.

4. For my ambient Wind sound I Wanted it to only play when your plane flies through the air so I attached it to the “Myplane”.
To attach a sound to an object you double click the object, Drag the bullseye under Sounds in the main1 tab, select your
sound from the drop down menu then click Ok and click Ok again. If everything saved correcty you should be able to play
the game and hear your sounds.
