How do I Develop a Gun Sound Simulator App Using MIT App Inventor?

MIT App Inventor Help

Hi everyone,

I am working on an interesting project where I want to create a gun sound simulator app using MIT App Inventor. The idea is to play different firearm sounds when a button is pressed. I want to make it interactive with multiple sound options, like semi-automatic and burst fire.

Steps I'm Following:

  1. Using Buttons & Sound Components:
  • Each button triggers a different gun sound (e.g., blank gun, rifle, etc.).
  • The sound component plays a pre-recorded sound file.
  1. Adding Vibration & Animations:
  • To enhance realism, the app can include slight vibrations when a sound is played.
  • A simple animation (flash effect) can be added for visuals.
  1. Expanding Features:
  • I am also thinking about adding a customizable feature where users can upload their own sounds.

Does anyone here have experience implementing such a project in MIT App Inventor? I’d love to hear suggestions, especially on how to add a looping sound effect for automatic gunfire.

Advertisement for gun company removed by Mods has nothing to do with gun sound programming.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Start with the HelloPurr tutorial.

this seems like a very simple project, I am sure you wont need help for it, but if you are really new, try uploading sounds into the media tab, then making buttons that play a sound with the sound component on click idk

You could also use a mix of frequencies to generate the sounds you want, I don't know if there is an extension that generates white noise or pink noise, since that helps for explosions.

  • It's probably more work than adding a ready-made sound to the assets.
