    6. Game #5, Balls Out! > Setting up the game objects

    Setting up the game objects

    It is now time to prepare the objects for our game: sounds, images, buttons, and so on.

    Make some noise—sound effects

    It is always good to create little helper functions to bundle a specific task, say for loading sounds. You can easily add more to them once you know where that part of code is located.
