Summary

[ LiB ]

Blitz Basic really makes it easy to use sound and music within games , and sound and music really make a difference. They provide a nice tone and setting for the game. Using background music, you can give the player the feeling of a frenetic action mission or a slow stealth mission.

To review, the main topics that we covered are

• Loading sounds

• Playing sounds

• Using PlayMusic() and channels

• Editing channels

By the way, there are a lot of sounds and music files on the CD. All of the music files were provided by Thomas Stenb ck, and they sound great.

In the next chapter, we are going to cover artificial intelligence. You will learn how to make computers think and actwell, sorta!
