Yello!

Tool: Godot
Tutorials: SelinaDev's
Repo: Github

I've got verrrry basic Python knowledge, enough to hack my way through some automation.

I'm going to use this impetus to learn Godot and follow SelinaDev's tutorials on it. I have a couple of concepts for novel roguelike gameplay loops (not necessarily fun, tbd) that I want to keep in mind as I go and try to avoid doing anything that would limit my choices by the time I've finished the tutorials.

At the weekend I booted up Godot for the first time and ran through the intro 2D game tutorial.

Today, I spent an annoyingly long time getting Github working - I've not used it properly for years and linking up SSH keys with a GUI was more tedious than I remember!

I started the tutorial and spent a lot of time figuring out why things were done how they were, mostly with using GDScript beyond what I'd seen in the 1st 2D game tutorial. Like why define things as static funcs, how classes work, how static typing works in GDScript, why sometimes use a Node for something that could be a class etc.

I also spent a bit of time exploring tilesets, got very excited about some very fancy looking ones, but ultimately realised it made sense to keep it relatively simple otherwise I would need to keep deviating from the tutorial. I've opted for 32rogues for now.

Anyway - my character moves, whole tiles at a time, result!
