Lewis describes the process of adding sound effects to objects in Game Maker. The key steps are: 1. Create a "Sounds" folder and convert any sound files to .wav format to be recognized by Game Maker. 2. Double click on an object to open its event editor, drag the "speaker" icon from the sidebar into the action grid to make the object play a sound. 3. Select the sound file by double clicking the speaker icon and choosing it from the files. 4. Test that the sounds play correctly when the objects are used in the game.

2.  To start off I found the file known
as “Sounds” and right clicked the
older where a menu pops up this is
where I looked for the “create
sound” option which will allow me
to create a document where I will
upload the sounds into, then game
maker will recognise these files
and will allow them to be played
later on when I attach them onto a
object. There must be attached to
a certain object for them to be
played.
STEP 1

3.  I have created a folder and
now I must browse for the
sounds location, I done this
by clicking the folder icon
this then opens up a folder
browser where I look for the
sounds, but I must also
remember that these sounds
will not be able to play unless
they are converted into “wave
files” and as I have done that
already then my selected
sound should work perfectly
when adding it to an object.
STEP 2

4. Thirdly I want the to link one of my
sounds to a object so I done this by
double left clicking on a certain I
want link it to in this case it is the
“obj_Enemy_Bulet1” this also
brings up a menu where I clicked
the side menu named “main1” this
allowed me to find the speaker icon
where I dragged it into the “Actions
grid” this tells the object that when
the plane explodes the object will
emit my selected sound, to find the
certain I want it to play I have to
double click the speaker icon and
browse for it through the blue
square icon, this brings up all the
sounds I have created on game
maker and brings them up in a
small menu.
STEP 3

5.  And finally after I have
repeated the process for each
selected sound and object and
i make sure that the sounds
play when I use them in the
demo.
But I must also point out that
my sounds do not quite match
the type of genre I have used
but I am just showing that I am
able to upload sounds into a
game and then played. If I were
to do it again I would make my
own game so the sounds would
perfectly match the genre and
the mechanics of my game.
