Sound

I have carried out some research into the use of sound in game and have decided to add sound to the game, to make playing the game a more interesting experience, as it involves more of the senses.

Times in the game that may benefit from sound:
  • Ball and border collision
  • Ball and paddle collision
  • Ball and brick collision
  • Brick explosion
Other times during the game when sound effects or music could be used:
  • Losing a “life”
  • Completing a level
  • Congratulation state
  • During the countdown
  • Introduction to the game
