🔊 Sound System Basics

Global Access

window.soundManager  // Available everywhere after game init

Quick Play

import { playUISound } from '../systems/ui-sounds.js';

playUISound('click');         // Random UI click
playUISound('notification');  // Random notification
playUISound('item');          // Random item sound
playUISound('lock');          // Random lock sound

Volume Control

window.soundManager.setMasterVolume(0.7);
window.soundManager.setCategoryVolume('ui', 0.8);

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Understand the System

Read: SOUND_SYSTEM_QUICK_REFERENCE.md

Step 2: Learn the API

Read: docs/SOUND_SYSTEM.md → "Usage" section

Step 3: Add Sounds to Your Code

import { playUISound } from '../systems/ui-sounds.js';
playUISound('click');  // That's it!

Step 4: Customize Volumes

window.soundManager.setMasterVolume(0.7);
window.soundManager.setCategoryVolume('ui', 0.8);

---

💡 Common Tasks

Play Random Sound

window.soundManager.playUIClick();  // Random click
window.soundManager.playUINotification();  // Random notification
window.soundManager.playItemInteract();  // Random item sound

Attach to Button

import { attachUISound } from '../systems/ui-sounds.js';
const button = document.getElementById('my-button');
attachUISound(button, 'click');

Control Master Volume

window.soundManager.setMasterVolume(0.5);

Toggle Sound On/Off

window.soundManager.toggle();

Check If Enabled

if (window.soundManager.isEnabled()) {
    // Play sound
}
