+
+## 🧪 **Testing Commands:**
+
+Open browser console (F12) and run these commands:
+
+### **Test Heartbeat:**
+```javascript
+// Simulate low health (triggers heartbeat)
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.updateHeartbeat(25); // 25% health
+```
+
+### **Test Damage Indicator:**
+```javascript
+// Show damage from different directions
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showDamageIndicator('up', 10);
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showDamageIndicator('down', 15);
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showDamageIndicator('left', 20);
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showDamageIndicator('right', 25);
+```
+
+### **Test Screen Flash:**
+```javascript
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+
+// Danger flash
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showScreenFlash('danger', '[DANGER!]');
+
+// Warning flash
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showScreenFlash('warning', '[WARNING!]');
+
+// Info flash
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showScreenFlash('info', '[INFO]');
+
+// Success flash
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showScreenFlash('success', '[SUCCESS!]');
+```
+
+### **Test Subtitles:**
+```javascript
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+
+// Simple subtitle
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showSubtitle('Hello, World!', 3000);
+
+// With speaker name
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.showSubtitle('Welcome to NovaFarma!', 3000, 'System');
+```
+
+### **Test Sound Events:**
+```javascript
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+
+// Damage event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('damage', { direction: 'left', amount: 20 });
+
+// Pickup event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('pickup', { item: 'Wood' });
+
+// Harvest event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('harvest');
+
+// Build event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('build');
+
+// Danger event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('danger');
+
+// Night event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('night');
+
+// Achievement event
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('achievement', { message: '[LEVEL UP!]' });
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ **Settings:**
+
+### **Toggle Features:**
+```javascript
+const gameScene = game.scene.getScene('GameScene');
+
+// Toggle heartbeat
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.toggleHeartbeat(true/false);
+
+// Toggle damage indicators
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.toggleDamageIndicator(true/false);
+
+// Toggle screen flashes
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.toggleScreenFlash(true/false);
+
+// Toggle subtitles
+gameScene.visualSoundCueSystem.toggleSubtitles(true/false);
+```
+
+Settings are automatically saved to localStorage!
+
+---
+
+## 🎮 **In-Game Integration:**
+
+The system automatically responds to game events:
+
+1. **Health < 30%** → Heartbeat starts
+2. **Player takes damage** → Damage indicator shows direction
+3. **Night falls** → Screen flash warning
+4. **Achievement unlocked** → Success flash
+5. **Item picked up** → Subtitle shows item name
+6. **Crop harvested** → Subtitle notification
+
+---
+
+## 📝 **Next Steps:**
+
+To fully integrate, connect to actual game events:
+
+```javascript
+// In Player.js - when taking damage
+this.scene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('damage', {
+    direction: damageDirection, // 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right'
+    amount: damageAmount
+});
+
+// In LootSystem.js - when picking up item
+this.scene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('pickup', {
+    item: itemName
+});
+
+// In FarmingSystem.js - when harvesting
+this.scene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('harvest');
+
+// In WeatherSystem.js - when night falls
+this.scene.visualSoundCueSystem.onSoundPlayed('night');
+```
