    6. Game #5, Balls Out! > Time for action — loading the game sound effects

    Time for action — loading the game sound effects

    To load sounds, we will create a method in the game class called LoadSounds. There, we will load sounds for an explosion, a hit sound, and a select sound:

    1. Create a new method called LoadSounds.
      Method LoadSounds:Int ()
    2. Load the three sounds called select, explosion, and hit (remember, no file extension!).
      sndSelect = eng.LoadSound("select")
sndExplo = eng.LoadSound("explosion")
sndHit = eng.LoadSound("hit")
    3. Close the method.
      Return 0
End

    What just happened?

    We have created a method to load sounds into the game. To load sounds, we used fantomengine's LoadSound method. You don't need to add the file extension to it, as fantomengine will load the one that is right for that platform. In the case of iOS, it is the MP4 file format.
