whichwasto be usedforthe playerand enemies. Ididnothave to change any code for the game as
the name of the soundhad notchanged.Thismeansthat the code still associatedthe name forthe
soundwithwhatit wasbefore the soundfile waschanged.
The secondand final soundwhichIchangedwasthe soundeffectthatIusedfor whenthe playeror
enemiesare destroyed. Tochange thisI had to go to the soundsectionof the Gamemakermenu
