Interface Sounds

Add sounds to user interface elements in a Godot scene.

1. Create sound effects

• Using JFXR, FreeSound or another sound design program, create SFX for the player movement sounds, obstacle sounds and other sound effects for collisions or state changes in the game.
  • Button Hover and Click
  • Game Over and Win Game

2. Add SFX to Godot

• Use your game project or download the Default Project Template
• Download the Assets folder if needed
• Create a folder for Audio and copy your sound files
• Find or Add an AudioStreamPlayer node for each sound effect in the StartMenu, GameOver and Instructions Scenes, and UIScene
• Find the code to play each sound by searching for the sound names
• Uncomment the line of code by removing the # at the beginning

Before:

# func _on_button_down():
#	$ClickSound.play()

After:

func _on_button_down():
	$ClickSound.play()

3. Documentation

• Post either the sound files or links to the resources on the Open Lab
