Adding Audio

Put audio files in one of these folders:

• res://assets/audio/Master: basically shouldn't be used, only used for the test sound
• res://assets/audio/BGM: music
• res://assets/audio/SFX: sound effects
• res://assets/audio/UI: UI interactions (button clicks, focus/hover, etc)

Important: Open the audio scene (res://game/autoload/audio.tscn) and save. That will update the NamedAudio enum based on the files in those folders automatically.

To play audio from anywhere use the play_named_... functions:

• Audio.play_named_ui(NamedAudio.UI.UI_ButtonClick)
• Audio.play_named_bgm(NamedAudio.BGM.BGM_BackgroundMusicName)
• Audio.play_named_sfx(NamedAudio.SFX.SFX_Boom)

Running the Project

If you are on windows and have the correct Godot version with the default name in a folder on your path, you can just run:

bat\editor-rc.bat

That line will automatically start Godot 4.3-rc3 in verbose mode, skipping the project selection screen.

Deploying the project

The project should be exported to (those folders already have a .gdignore so the editor won't load them):

• res://exports/web: web version
• res://exports/win: windows version
• res://exports/lin: linux version

After exporting, the following commands (assuming you have butler setup) will deploy each version:

• bat\itch-web.bat: web version
• bat\itch-win.bat: windows version
• bat\itch-lin.bat: linux version
