Question: Sound for web game event/action.

[UnknownUser]

Hey guys, i was thinking to my self hum whats the best way to implement sound into a "game".
For example attacks gives short sound effects another example would be fire attack/spell.
Gives the correct sound for that event/action,and when you add loot u hear the sound of it.
Dropping into your bag,

So i started to think how you could i build a simple sound handler, an event/action type handler ->
you could just do click->on click play this for the player but that gave problem with sound delay,
and and different browsers had there own problems so on, i have a lot of ideas how to make this.

But I've decided to ask you guys before i start anything.
So my Question: Is how would you do it or is there a good.
Open source one out already all info would be greatly appreciated

I'm all open to read what you have to say on this subject
and i thank you for your answers in advance!

Sound used to be a serious problem for web games, and really there were no good options outside of plugins and a few hacks. Of course, there have almost always been ways to just play a sound through the browser, but not without a player, and not through the actions of a game.

But now HTML5 comes to the rescue! While a Google search of "How to add sound to HTML5 canvas game" turns up a ton of articles, here is a concise one that should get you started!

Although these are talking about canvas games/animations, the premise is the same. "Canvas" apps are just Javascript, and if you can play a sound in the canvas, you can play it for anything else, too!

HTML5 Audio tag. That simple. There's even functionality in WebGL to make the sound 3D (come from different points in perspective). I'm working on a canvas version.
