Category: Programming Intro

I’m having a couple of problems with finishing the enemies and obstacles lab from the art section, however I feel guilty that I’m not getting much work done in the mean time so I’ve begun doing the programming labs to help myself feel productive.

As the title says, I’ve done the programming introduction today. It’s helped me get a loose grasp on all the terms in coding, and gave me the idea that I might have to check if the enemy script has that flip value in it. If not that could be why my ducks are walking backwards.

I’ve learned how to write player and global scripts from the scratch and that’s the exciting part of the Programming Intro.

I’ve tried to teach myself Godot in the past, with mixed results, but the lab video does a good job of explaining all the things I’d normally just type and move past without ever understanding! It’s still a bit confusing, but the pieces are starting to click together. I also really appreciate the auto-filling in Godot and the (relatively) easy to learn language.

Because I did this first, before any of the art labs, I used the provided assets. But I’d like to do some of the art labs and then double-back to programming so I can use my own art.
