project download¶

Unfortunately, due to lack of time to prepare the written part of the tutorial I seem not to be able to complete this. I decided to upload the final zip project file for you to play with until I find the time co write about it. I hope it’s helpful and that the comments are clear enough so that it doesn’t seem to complex. I’d suggest you compare it with the project files from the previous page.

There are quite a bit of things changed compared to part 08 enemy AI controller and although it might not seem this way, this last part would be quite lengthy because of this and because I want to go over signals and the Observer pattern and signal/events in greater detail.

So without any further ado, here are the project files for this last part of …

Although I have quite a bit of programming experience in high level languages, I may not be qualified to teach you anything about game development as I am learning myself and I probably do not have a sense of how code should be written just yet. So please keep in mind that I am very new at this as well and don’t take it as the definite way to do it. It is only my way

Before you continue make sure you have the project files from the last part as you will need them here if you want to follow along!

This part is probably the most interesting in this series since we’ll be dealing with AI and a few other more advanced concepts. We’ll go through:

being happy that we set up the project the way we did, with FMSs …

This should be a fun one. We’ll get to add a new state in our FSM, we will get to see (very simply) what the singleton OOP …

assignment¶

This is going to be a very simple assignment or so I hope because by this stage you should have been exposed to a lot of Godot elements and should be comfortable with scripts, certain decision making steps.

Given what I said above, in this section, the task this time is to remove the setter function __set_energy() and instead set the player_energy key on Globals …

2016-10-26 14:26: forgot that setters & getters are both optional, I corrected this and added some more details about in the setters&getters section. Also expanded on another gotcha in the AnimationPlayer details section

2016-10-24 18:35: corrected a mistake in explaining the collision masks and physics layers. Initially I had mentioned that the physics objects will interact with each other if they are placed in the same physics layer, but that’s not true, the layer mask determines what gets detected, the explanation has be updated

assignment¶

The algorithm used in building the board part of the tutorial isn’t as efficient as it can be. Can you think of a better way of doing it? Hints:

initialize self.__grid with available locations instead of initializing it to an empty array and populating it every loop step with locations of placed tiles
the only other modification that needs to be made is …

2016-09-25 14:20: after talking with the Dean of Engineering at S4G School for Games and he pointed out the proper use of Dictionaries I modified the code to use a inner class to store the tiles from TileSet instead of a plain Dictionary with an inner Dictionary so be sure to grab the updated project files! if you went through the tutorial before 2016-09-25 14:20

2016-09-24 17:02: added accordion menus for the extra information sections () so they don’t break the flow of the tutorial

2016-09-20 00:10: added at the bottom a link to the finished project files for your convenience

2016-09-18 12:48: added a more elaborate explanation on why I chose to divide the original sprite sheet, this information is found in the Unity3D-to-Godot sprite sheet conversion : AnimatedSprite vs. Sprite + AnimationPlayer
