Game sfx maker tool ... sfxr in flash!
What's all this then? This is as3sfxr, flash port of sfxr. It makes sounds for your games. You only have to press buttons and listen and press buttons again.
This is great: no need to understand how sound synthesis works, ability learn a little about sound synthesis by pressing buttons/moving controls randomly, no need to download/compile/install anything either. Oh how I would wish for more tools of this kind, maybe specialized stuff like (non-8-bit) fire effect generators, ice effects, explosions... There are some sfx gens for pure data but it will take a little more time to get them running.
At the top of this post, there is an embedded flash applet. If you are a user of an open source flash player: do you see it? Can you use it? How many of you already knew of sfxr but only now did try it through as3sfxr?
I hope this 'no info about games' post does not shock you.

It doesn't work for me, I see an empty brown flash, even when I have the oficial Adobe Flash Player for Linux...
Works for me. Very interesting, even though I have no idea what most of the terms mean. ^^
OS: Kubuntu 9.10
Architecture: 64-bit
Kernel: 2.6.31-19-generic
Adobe Flash version: LNX 10,0,45,2
Ellohir, what version of the flash player and browser if I may ask? Does it not work with all browsers?
empty brown box here too. flash 9 on firefox/linux.
Wow, this is really cool! My only gripe is that it seems to generate low-quality "8-bit-ish" sounds and the pitch seems too high. For a more dark/serious game I don't know how much this would be of use for. But for simple fun games this tool is perfect.
hey people... Dont be lazy, Update your flashs!
