Sound design upgrade #17

@benSlaughter

Description

@benSlaughter

Current sounds use Web Audio API synthesis — functional but robotic. Warm, natural sounds would elevate the whole experience.

Replace with short audio samples (.mp3, <50KB each):

  • Success: gentle chime or xylophone note
  • Click/tap: soft wooden tap
  • Correct answer: ascending two-note melody
  • Wrong answer: gentle low tone (not harsh buzzer)
  • Achievement unlock: triumphant little fanfare
  • Pop (bubble games): satisfying bubble pop
  • Celebration: short confetti/sparkle sound

Source: freesound.org (CC0 licence) or generate with a tool like sfxr/jsfxr.

Storage: public/sounds/ directory, loaded via new Audio().

Keep: The speakWord() speech synthesis — that's great as-is.
