AI Audio & Music

Sound brings your game to life. Here’s how to craft a soundtrack that supports learning without overwhelming your players.

Choose Your Tools

• Use PLACEHOLDER music generation tool for quick loops.
• Try Suno or Tone.js for dynamic soundscapes.
• Record simple effects with your phone and clean them in Audacity.

Build a Sound Palette

• Create a calm background loop for gameplay.
• Add short stingers for success, failure, or new knowledge moments.
• Keep file sizes small—OGG or MP3 at 128 kbps is usually enough.

Integrate Offline

const audio = new Audio('./assets/audio/loop.ogg')
audio.loop = true
audio.volume = 0.4
document.querySelector('#toggle-audio').addEventListener('click', () => {
  if (audio.paused) {
    audio.play()
  } else {
    audio.pause()
  }
})

Always provide a mute toggle and remember browsers require user interaction before playback.

Accessibility & Inclusivity

• Avoid sudden loud sounds—start soft and build up.
• Provide captions or text cues for players who play muted.
• Offer an alternate “quiet mode” if your game is dialogue-heavy.

Credits & Licences

• Track every source in a PLACEHOLDER audio log.
• Check licence terms for AI-generated music—some tools require attribution.
• Credit collaborators in your submission notes.
