Hi Andy, What amazes me is back in the Atari, NES, and classic days of gaming all sound effects were made by creating formulas to change wav lengths etc. I mean they did music, sounds, and all that by code alone. Now days, if you want a sound record it on a tape recorder, computer, or other device, edit it with Goldwav, Soundforcge, and away you go. You want a fire record it in your home fire place, and then you can use it fora burning truck, tank, fire place, whatever. It's as easy as that. In the absents of real fire you can crackle wrapping paper etc and then modify it to sound something like fire, but it isn't quite the same effect. Either way I'd do it that way than make formulas to try and give a fire effect in my game.
