Doing a (almost) unclipped video of Godot game creation is a great idea. Also seeing how Godot is on the rise of popularity right now it really is in the right time of things. Though you do have some competition looking at many other creators, especially now that Brackeys is back and on the Godot train as well. But your quality of editing is really high, and the content really valuable for anyone learning and seeing the reality of game dev. So keep it up and I am certain you channel will grow. Great work so far and looking forward to seeing more videos from you.

Word of advice for coding if it works for your project - and you don’t mind it - then it works for you. Optimization is a hole you don’t want to fall down unless you know it’s something you need to be doing. I’m not saying throw optimization to the wind, but rather if it’s not noticeably impacting your experience to not worry too much about it. As someone who’s been coding for about four years and just about eight months in game development there’s a million ways to do the same thing, and most of the time there’s no difference in efficiency. The biggest difference is the depth at which each person understands it. Of course you want to limit the amount you have to do, but there’s only so much you can learn as one person. Just keep coding, and you’ll inevitably keep learning and getting better.

This was really nice. I love the approach with a long form video that includes errors and reasoning. More fun to watch than a standard tutorial and long term it gives me a more profound understanding of things. Hope to see more of this!

Custom resources are good for when you have set values for something but a reusable base. So they'd fit nicely for the cards, allow you to have a single card scene that you just change the card resource on and when the card is made it loads the name, description, images etc from its resource variable.

48:00 fun fact, these `if` statements can often make code slightly slower, albeit insignificantly so. The longest operation in there is the look-up to the `lbl` object, and with `if` it happens once and can happen twice, while w/o `if` it happens exactly once. Additionally, it is usually checked for changes later on anyways - so unless you see horrible flickering w/o `if`, there is no need for it there.

for your card highlighting, instead of doing what you did, you could use the _on_gui_input function of a Control node and check to see if it was mouse input. if it was,then you can change the color of your card. IIRC, the mouse event should only be triggered on the "highest" Control Node. If a Control Node is obstructed by another Control Node, then it wont trigger its _on_gui_input function. If for some reason, the event propogates to other control nodes, you can manually consume the event, by calling the accept() function of a Control Node, and it wont propogate any futher Another option is to use the _input or _unhandled_input functions and then manually stopping the propogarion of an event by calling get_viewport().set_input_as_handled()

Oooo interesting! I'll definitely take that suggestion into consideration!

This was awesome! Thank you so much! So much valuable info in here and also observing the process was very interesting. When following along and stumbling upon one of the problems you had I started trying to solve it on my own before watching you and in the end I managed to solve some of the problems on my own. I have 2 big questions though. First is the updating of the highlight in the process function. You were talking about performance alot. Is it smart to do it in the process function? I chose to make an update_highlight() function and call it on mouse entered and mouse exited. The times when the highlight needs to be updated is only those and removing a card from hand, no? The other question regards the setup of the general card scene and the attack and defend card. I'm not so well versed with Godot but wouldn't it be easier to have a general card class and inherit from it? The only problem with that is that I don't know how to do inheritance in Godot if it's not just code but also Nodes. I think I would really want to support you on Patreon! Such a good experience.

Instead of using func _input, you can do a if statement where the card gets highlighted. if Input.is_action_just_pressed("mouse_click"): remove_card(highest_touch_index) It works the same, and its less work. (This saves you probably 5 minutes from the tutorial)

Yo, just got to the "What is hand?" section of the video and had a thought about how I might approach it. I would imagine the cards in an array, like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The card(s) in the center of the array would be at Y position 0 with 0 rotation, and then the further the card gets from center, the lower Y position and more rotation it would have... I paused and have not looked ahead, so maybe you end of doing kinda the same thing, but wanted to jot it down before I forgot.

Ай бұрын

Agreed!

Maybe it's not the best thing to do, but I would try using `z-index` for card selection. You could use `z-index+1` on every new card. Or even better, for a new card, you could use `last_card.z-index + 1`. I guess you'd need to shift `z-indexes` to every card when removing.

@ezthedev

26 күн бұрын

Yea, that though came across my head as well when I was thinking through it, but I remembered messing with 3+ number of different z values can be a lot of headache in my experience, so I just went with what I knew works in general! Alternatively, you could use "texturebutton" to handle pressed or use "unhandled input" to limit the input handling to one node!

47:00 you said you would use setters but you used process. Which is really bad performance wise. for me, setters are declared like that: ```gd var card_name: String= "Card Name": set(value): if value == card_name: return card_name = value if name_lbl == null: return name_lbl.set_text(value) ```

@ezthedev

Setters are amazing! And yes, this would be better performance since you only make the graphical update only once! I do want to address more in detail about this in my 4th episode on optimization! I still think as the game gets bigger relying in graphical update on setter call can be difficult to keep up with but there are many alternatives and options! If you like doing it this way, and this is easy for you of course it's the best way! Thanks for the comment!

Hi ! And thanks for watching and yhe question! In fact, I did consider inheritance briefly while filming this... and then I noticed some complication in my head and decided against it. The problem I saw is that the base card code has a lot of implementation that directly relies on having very specific child nodes. This means to inherit the class the inheriting node must also have same node scene tree structure. I didn't want to do the repeated work of adding nodes and naming nodes.. I really just wanted to drag and drop the base "card" node onto what would later be a "in-game card" So I decided it is okay to have "in-game card" that handles the logic of being a "card" in my specific game vs Card node being a component to setup UI structure of being a card. If I did this again, I do want to take more time to explore the best way to inherit classes tho! Haha. Hope this answered your question! And again my reasoning here could be flawed! And there are tons of better ways to do this I'm sure! So, please keep exploring! Thanks again and happy game dev'ing!

You can use your custom "type" as typing for variable by declaring your "gd" code with "class_name ...." in the beginning.

@@ezthedev Thank you! I'll make sure to join. I ended up creating a C, I was supposed to open up a new "tab" in the editor, which would open up a new scene, and choosing the 2d Scene Root Node. Hopefully, that's equivalent to steps 1 and 2 of what you detailed.

Yup! That's basically the same!

for the card selection i think it would be better to use buttons instead of area 2d, it resolves overlapping by itself

I agree! I always get iffy about using specific nodes like button over generic building block, but honestly, for handling overlapping clicks and having easy hover/pressed/etc textures something like TextureButton works great probably!

I'm really appreciating the tutorial, but the quality of your screen capture makes it really hard to see what you're typing, even on the highest setting :(

I know... i had my setup all messed up for this one particular episode. Sorry for the sadness and pain! I fixed it for the next episode, but I know it's rough for this one...

dude... I was following you tutorial to the letter, BUT BUT BUT at timestamp @43:59 mysteriously got a few more scripts that you didnt show us. These scripts AttackCard, DefendCard and CardHandler. While I am throughly enjoying this tutorial, its so aggravating that mysterious scripts all of a sudden pop up and are not explained. Maybe you do it later on in the tutorial ? IDK? I just noticed it and had to bring up the subject for those of us who spot stuff like this. anyway...good job. I like this tutorial format.

I actually am subscribed to this creator that makes fonts and I get access to some of them! And a lot of them are free as well www.patreon.com/somepx/posts Otherwise, I do frequent www.dafont.com/ to find some free fonts I like!

The card's cost being placed in the right side is definitely on purpose, right?

Hahaha I actually love them to left off camera before episode 2. It was out of habit of seeing mana cost there from magic the gathering, but I was annoyed that it was covered in the hand

Great videos. One critique though is that I had to watch the beginning like 10 times to figure out how the canvases and scripts were related to each other. You kind of gloss over things like what’s a parent of what and how scripts are attached to nodes. If you blink you miss it.

Yeaaaa that's a very real! I definitely messed that part up with the edit and going through it! Hopefully, I will try to be better with that! Thanks for the feedback!

@@ezthedevThanks! I have a couple questions for you if you have a minute. Do you have to set an intermediate variable if you just want to set values of a label? Like is there a reason to make local variables for that? Also is there something like a separate constructor (that would run before it’s added to the scene) function so you don’t have to use the onready or is that the only kind of constructor there is?

Please! I need a online Digimon TCG
