I have the basic game working, but it would really be nice if I could get sounds as well. I know how to use the free-form synthesizer to make sounds, but where does one learn what to send it? In other words, what sort of a waveform should I make to get an explosion, the sound of a shot being fired, or a low rumble for the thrusting of the ship? I would appreciate hearing of any good books on the subject, even if the info is immersed in technical sound theory. Thanks in advance, Randy Wilson wilson@harvard.ARPA "What for you bury me in cold, cold ground?"
