ZzFX is a JavaScript sound effect engine and creation tool

• Sound effects can be generated or manually created using the web based sound designer.
• Just include ZzFX.js to load ZzFX, it does not need to be initialized.
• Or you can use ZzFX.micro.js a tiny (<1k) version that has only the ability to play sounds.

To play a sound in code, just call a simple function! Here are some examples...

zzfx(...[,,925,.04,.3,.6,1,.3,,6.27,-184,.09,.17]); // Game Over
zzfx(...[,,537,.02,.02,.22,1,1.59,-6.98,4.97]); // Heart
zzfx(...[1.5,.8,270,,.1,,1,1.5,,,,,,,,.1,.01]); // Piano
zzfx(...[,,129,.01,,.15,,,,,,,,5]); // Drum

Here is all the code you need to play ZzFX sounds!

zzfxV=.3    // volume
zzfx=       // play sound
