Captain Boop

An audio soundboard to play alongside the hit board game, Captain Sonar!

Captain Boop is meant to provide companion audio to help set the mood for your games of Captain Sonar. It provides ambient noise, as well as noises associated with events by listening for key words while you're playing - for example, saying "Direct Hit" will trigger an explosion sound.

This is the product of a handful of hours of work and is far from complete.
