## Week 1: Setting up the Environment, Major Concepts
|
|
|
|
### Description:
|
|
Get familiar with the Godot game engine, and why we would use this engine. Become familiar with the interface and set up a first project in 2D.
|
|
|
|
Install the Godot game engine
|
|
Get familiar with the environment
|
|
Learn each panel and what they are used for
|
|
Understanding hierarchy - scenes, nodes
|
|
|
|
Design Exercises - Game Design
|
|
Learn the main types of game objects and how they relate to game design:
|
|
|
|
* Static Bodies
|
|
* Rigid Bodies
|
|
* Character Bodies
|
|
* Area Triggers
|
|
|
|
Development Exercise - Minimal Game
|
|
Create a ground plane. Understand rigid bodies, gravity, and colliders. Create a keyboard based player controller to move around with.
|
|
|
|
### Create Walls
|
|
|
|
Using Static Bodies, create walls and boundaries to form some basic world interaction.
|
|
|
|
### Create Physics Based Objects
|
|
|
|
Using RigidBodies, create some elements of the world that use physics interactions. You can test these against your StaticBodies.
|
|
|
|
### Create AreaTrigger
|
|
|
|
Create a trigger via Area2D. Create in a way that it can be used to trigger multiple effects. Turn the AreaTrigger into its own Scene for reuse.
|
|
|
|
### Create Game Character
|
|
|
|
Make a playable character that uses the CharacterBody2D template.
