Short Circuit really seems to be taking shape. I’ve now added in functionality for playing background music and sound effects. I’m not all that great with composing music, so I managed to find a bunch of royalty free songs from Matt McFarland that I thought sounded nice. I’ve also recorded a simple sound effect for clicking on the buttons, thus the game provides some audio response. There’s no screenshot with this update as nothing was changed visually. Currently, there are 25 songs by Matt McFarland that are built into the game. Some screens use a specified song, but the actual game screen itself selects one at random to play. I intend to provide a means through an options screen for the player to select which song they want to play, as well as for them to control the volume of the songs and sound effects.
