The previous project built was a valid slalom race, but that game had no sound or text to explain what was happening. This project, contained in the assets_slalom folder, just adds sound and text to the game of the previous project.
Here is a screenshot that was taken during a race:
In the top left of the window, there is the following information:
- Elapsed time: This tells us how many seconds or hundreds of seconds have elapsed since the start of the current race.
- Speed: This tells us how much is the current forward speed in pixels per second.
- Remaining gates: This tells us how many gates remain to pass.

In addition, four sounds have been added, as follows:
- A tick at any start of a race
- A whoosh at any turn
- A bump at any fail
- A chime at any finish
You have to run the game to hear them. Notice that not all web browsers are equally capable of reproducing sounds.
