I found this neat little sound generator tool while looking for information on 8 bit sound effects so I thought I’d share. It’s pretty sweet and exports whatever sound you’ve created (or randomly selected) to a wav file. It has random generation for laser, explosion, item pickup and a few others. For those of you who are just looking for some simple sound effects you might want to check this out.
I love this little app! Also, in case you didn’t know, it’s been ported to Java (and here’s another open-source Java applet in the same vein), so, in theory, it could be modified to output VB code for the effects generated… wink, wink, nudge, nudge 🙂
You’re welcome! It’s actually been ported to a number of other languages/platforms. There’s an ActionScript 3 (i.e. Flash) version. There’s another Java version I couldn’t find a working link to. There’s even at least one JavaScript/HTML5 port!
BTW, I realized after I posted that one would really only have to port the synthesis routines from the C(++) version to the VB, then use any of the other versions to produce the sound descriptions to feed to it. Of course, if the VB can’t handle it, we’d still need something like I originally proposed… Either way, thanks for considering working on it!
