💡 TIPS

Finding Good Sounds:

1. Listen before downloading! Most sites have preview
2. Check license: Must be CC0, CC-BY, or public domain
3. File format: .ogg preferred, .wav or .mp3 also work
4. Duration: Keep SFX short (0.5-2s), ambient can be longer
5. Quality: 44.1kHz sampling rate is standard

If sound is .mp3 or .wav:

No problem! Game engine (Phaser 3) supports all formats! But .ogg is smaller file size = faster loading.

Convert with: ffmpeg -i input.mp3 output.ogg
