Hi,

To demonstrate some of the sound capabilities in gwt-voices, I've added a new playable arcade game as an example. It's roughly 'alpha preview' quality at this point.

Enjoy--

Very interesting (but too addictive!) The sounds are impressive, as
are the explosions. How did you do that?

Thanks, John.

The sounds come from The Freesound Project, played in the browser using gwt-voices. My son did the pencil artwork. The explosion, and inspiration comes from JGame, which was written by a friend of mine who happens to be the best arcade game writer I know.

Enjoy!
Fred

That's some nice work.

Funnily enough I have already used your project about a month back.
Not quite as exciting as your game, but I implemented an internal
client maintenance block tool, that plays the cash register 'cha-
ching' noise whenever a client purchases more time. Always gets a
laugh around the office.
