I'm adding sound to a simple matching game.
I have a sound for a flipping a card, a match, and no match.
The problem I am having is when 2 cards are match, the flip and match sounds play simultaneous.
So I tried calling Sleep at line 146, which gives me the correct behaviour for the sounds, however it delays turning the 2nd card over. I have also tried Sleep in other portions of the code.
Perhaps calling Sleep is not the best approach?
Not a huge deal, just trying to selfteach.
