[SLX] Include graphic sound cues from WinLemm

[jkapp76]

I would love to see the graphic sound cues from lemmings 95. This would allow deaf people to know when the builder was laying his last 3 bricks. (and they're really cool to see)

These images are included in the 95 version. And the (super lemmini too) fork has these and even created a couple extras I believe.

Yeah, this is something I can look at adding, for sure.

I'd need some help with it, code-wise. Although the changes I've made to SLX so far might make it look like I'm capable enough of doing pretty much anything, a lot of it has only involved tweaking existing code (or adding old removed code back in). Writing in brand new features is still a little bit beyond me.

I am enjoying learning, though! Plus, the more features I successfully implement, the more I'll want to continue adding in other stuff that people want, so... watch this space

Thinking about this some more, what do people think of the idea of having more picture/animation-based sound cues (rather than words), in order to further optimise the accessibility potential? Here's an example:

Very good, and all our games should do it.

I like the idea of adding more visual cues to complete the accessability features. But I really like the original text cues too. I think the best option would be to use the originals but create some new ones like you show here.

A good cue for when a distant lemming falls to his death would be nice...

I like that idea, over the words in win95, which I always found a bit silly-looking.

I like the look of these non-text cues too. But the Yippie, and No! and maybe others seem to require text. Maybe not?

Here's all the cue images...
Here's also a version of the above pic with the text label... "Chink". The text version is much more visible.
