Robot Enemy Lightning Attack
This is what I came up with for the lightning attack for the robot. 5 sprites with the lightning getting brighter and brighter which makes it look like it's charging up. - Charlie

Sound effects reserch Anthony DaSilva
I found two website's that talks about how to make a acid sound effect for games at http://obiwannabe.co.uk/tutorials/html/tutorial_acid.html Other sound advice can be found at www.epicsound.com.
Here are the suggestions.
boxes edited could be swishes
mecchanical toys could be robots
boiling for chemicals
footsteps altered for walking
alterd machanical sound could be mechanicals exsperement background
music. by me
Epicsound ideas website list
Explosion
A lion roar with flange can beef it up.
- Paul Arnold
- Tim Pryor
Metal squeak
A metal squeak ? depending on the type of sound you want ? can be made by taking a metal plate and sliding it sideways over a flat surface ? like a table or a door. The plate will make a sort of whining sound ? especially if its whole border/edge can slide sideways.
For a howling sound, the lid/plate should be positioned standing ? like a door ? and then moved like a broom as if it was meant to wipe something off the floor/surface.
For the metal plate, use a metal box lid or similar.
- David Filskov
Metal blinds
If a scene features the talent using a finger to look out of metal blinds, the sound could be created by using a tape measure. Pull the tape measure out and fold it over itself. Use your own finger to create the effect.
- Tim Pryor
Rat shrieks
Pitched-up chickens.
- Ben Burtt
Up-pitched kittens. Especially the screechy ones.
- Gustaf Grefberg
Robotic servo, subtle
A cell phone in vibration mode can serve as a nice base for a more subtle robotic servo sound. Record a cell phone’s long vibration tone once at close distance. EQ the sound to compensate for the proximity effect. It can be layered with higher pitched versions of itself.
- Tim Pryor
Slide a straw up or down in a McDonald’s large drink plastic lid. Trying pitching it down, stretching it. And voila! McZilla.
- Max Hodges
Walking, hazardous-materials suit
To make sounds for footsteps and other movements of a man in a hazardous materials suit: Record, fairly closely, the sounds made by flexing an “accordion folder”. (Not sure what the proper name for these is. They’re meant to hold papers, the sides are creased like an accordion to allow the folder to expand when it is very full) Next record some squeaks of rubber-soled shoes on linoleum. Don’t walk, just kick your shoe into the linoleum for the squeaky sounds. Extract the bits you like and add the shoe squeaks into the accordion folder sounds for footsteps.
- Kurt Harland
I recorded myself messing about with a glossy-cardboard accordion folder… wish I knew the proper office-supply term for these things. Then I added just a few squeaks from rubber soles on linoleum.

Walking, metal
Record yourself banging a boot or a heavy shoe against a heater. You can use a pair of boots to simulate a walking pattern.
- David Filskov
Walking, robotic hydraulics / footsteps
Photocopier sounds are good for robotic hydraulics/footsteps.
- Paul Arnold
Close mic a DVD player door closing, it will give you a motorised sound ending with a thud. You can then mix in the sounds of the surface the robot is walking on, e.g. cornstarch for snow etc.

Anthony's ideas chemistry
OH: hydroxide combined with sodium Sodium hydroxide can be
used as detergents and drains. He could remove stains from his lab coat or fix
a drain from the explosion mess.
O2H: not possible naturally
NH: compound
N2H: diazenylium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazenylium
Good for tracking hard to find molecules that are not easily
detected. In astronomy helps to find fractional ionization in gas clouds that
is also there chemistry.
NH2: cytosine quantum computation Mad Scientist could
research with it on a two qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computer
(NMRQC) based on cytosine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosine
O: Flammable/Toxic
O2: Liquid Oxygen Power his machine or use for first aid
since its use is as an industrial gas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen
Industrial gases are a group of gases that are
specifically manufactured for use in a wide range of industries,
which include oil and gas, petrochemicals,
chemicals, power, mining, steelmaking, metals, environmental
protection, medicine,
pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology,
food,
water,
fertilizers,
nuclear
power, electronics and aerospace. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_gas
***Oxygen is highly flammable as it acts as an oxidant to
open flames
***Oxygen gas (O2) can be toxic
at elevated partial pressures, leading to convulsions
and other health problems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen#Toxicity
– Blindness, seizures, muscle twitching, painful breathing
***Liquid oxygen is a cryogenic. It is also used as an
explosive (Oxyliquit explosives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyliquit_explosive)
by being absorbed into materials such as wood to be detonated
CHN: Hydrogen Cyanide – extremely poisonous liquid - Poison spying fan that blows the poison
into the air causing death if you come
in contact with it for a minute or 10-60 minutes game time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide As a poison and
chemical weapon
