Sound Woes

This is my first game with sound for this platform, and I stupidly expected it will just work — turns out it didn't, I got a loud of click at the start of each sample, and annoying buzzing after the sample stopped playing. I figured this is a problem with the audio hardware of my homebrew console, and decided to fix it later.

Today I looked into those issues closer, without the deadline on my back, and found out that the problem was with the sound files. The clicks were there because the sample didn't start with a neutral value, and the buzzing was there because the file was truncated compared to the size specified in the header. Running the files through a conversion program fixed the problems.

But of course that is already after the deadline, so feel free to give me bad score for audio — I deserved this.
