Death just doesnt have enough meaning, so I threw in another gamestate.. the deathstate. I think what Im going to do is some short and simple death scene.. Maybe the undercarriage of the car seen rolling across the screen from the toad's perspective... then the squish... I dunno. Gotta give it a bit more thought and see if I cant polish it up a bit. Right now to die is just blah..

Alright, I finally got my ambient sounds, the traffic and flowing water, added to my xact project and worked into the code. The volume auto adjusts as the player moves away from the road and closer to the river, and vice versa. I do need to go back and change the curve on the volume controls a bit, but no biggee. I also got the honking sounds added in, if your on the road, the cars are gonna honk..

Well, been trying to figure out how the hell to get exact to loop a sound.. Didnt realize that when I upgraded to vista, I needed the .net 1.1 framework, so after playing around, I got the new xact project for toadder done, including figuring how to play a random sound using one cue, and getting my background sounds to seamlessly loop. Tomorrow I work on adding volume variables and figuring how to do 3d sound.. I'd like to do panning, but I might put it off on this project. Next goes in the new spritefont.. the one im using now is U G L Y..
