I used GarageBand on the phone and played the rhythm by hand, so there would be noises or inaccurate beats present. Also, I added white noise from an empty room (consisting of the sound of my computer fan and the alert sound of a broken fire alarm) to make this melody sound recorded more casually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\">The main melody is only four bars and eight beats, and the whole piece is a loop of those four bars. So the length of the music piece can be adjusted as much or as little depending on how long the game is going on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">UI Sounds:<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Sound for switching pages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/sl1c22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/\u5f00\u51731.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sound for switching pages\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Xj4EEV_z1w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-beaumont-diamond-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Sound for putting the puzzle together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/sl1c22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/\u9152\u74f6\u5e72\u676f\u78b0\u649e\u97f3\u6548.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sound for putting the puzzle together\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O2ZPxvDYluo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-beaumont-diamond-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Sound for the calico cat (in special circumstances)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/sl1c22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/\u732b1.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sound for the calico cat (in special circumstances)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6-Zz0cvgdxM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\">Since the prototype of the game was created from PowerPoint, adding UI sounds was very simple.
