What's new in Town?

The following sound effects were added.
- Window light switch.
- Door open/close (for each door).
- Car honk (for each type of car).
- Men and women laugh when you tap them.

Tap a man three times to experience a little surprise.

Hi Pasha,

This is BIG fun :D
Are we heading for a YoWindow Super Mario version?

I like the horns.
Right now the buses sound the same as the beetles, which is a bit skinny for the buses.

PS: An unannounced funny trick is when you click on a window with lights on and someone standing still looking at you :)

Fred, I'm happy to read you got the Mario reference :)

If found the sound sample online on http://themushroomkingdom.net website.
Does anyone know if it is legal to use the sample?
We could use a different sound, but I want so much the effect was backed by the original sound from the game.

I was so tired with the sound work I put a random sample for the bus honk.
I hope we to find a nice bus sound later on.
If you would like to help, here's the wonderful website I'm searching the free sound samples.

Oh, and I'm glad you like the sound effects :)

Hi Pasha,

When a man is walking toward you or away from you, it is easy tapping him 3 times.
But when he is walking east or west, tapping 3 times is a little difficult.

When I tap him 3 times, he normally gets big and then goes back to original height.
If I tap him 3 times when he is near the street light in front of orange building, he stays big.
Is this what should happen?

Now to go back to more testing.

Hi Pasha,

I have found at least 2 bugs.
I was testing in debug mode.

This first one I was turning lights on and off.
I think I then tried to go back to Valley landscape.
I got the black YoWindow load screen.

Here is the debug report.

This second debug test and report are from the following action.

I was testing Leiden at night.
I was turning window lights off and on.
I had windows where there were people at the window.
Turn the lights off and you get a sound like a horse or a cow.
Turn the lights back on.

Now I changed locations to Sydney, Australia.
There is absolutely no people or auto traffic.
You get a frozen city landscape.

The attached are the report and frozen landscape of Sydney.
But this only happens when you play games with the lights.
This test was a repeat of something that occurred with the desktop version.

Thank you, Marty, I will be using your reports as a reference.
In case of tapping the man near the orange building, it looks like you missed him a bit probably.
