A downloadable tool for Linux

Sfxr is a little tool made by DrPetter (Tomas Pettersson) to provide a simple means of getting basic sound effects into a game. With sfxr, game developers can just hit a few buttons in this application and get some largely randomized effects that were custom in the sense that the user could accept/reject each proposed sound.

Although sfxr has an official deb package for debian distro and some other distros have sfxr in their official repositories but I found using sfxr in many distros really difficult. Of course you can download the source code, install dependencies and compile sfxr manually, but it's not a good idea for Linux new users. So I decided to do all these steps myself and create an AppImage for other Linux users to download and run it without any extra pain.

If you have any problem, feel free to leave a comment. I will try to help you as much as I can!
