Challenge

Your challenge is to:

  • On scene initialization, create a “play sound effect” action for each sound file in the project
  • Store the actions in instance variables for use later
  • Play the “flap” sound when the user taps the screen

The artwork in this game is by Mike Berg at weheartgames.com. He’s a great guy, highly recommended btw! :] Note that you have permission to use the code from this game in your own apps, but you do not have permission to use the artwork.
