How to Contribute

Check out this Cheat Sheet for git commands

1. install git on your machine
2. using the command line git clone https://github.com/nuzcraft/gdfg-team-4.git to get a copy of the code repository
3. git pull to pull the most recent changes down from github to your machine
4. git branch new-branch-name to create a new branch to work from
5. git add * to add all new changes so they can be committed
6. git commit -m "message" to commit any added changes to to the branch
7. git push to push your changes up to github
   • if the branch does not exist on github yet, git push --set-upstream origin new-branch-name will do the trick
8. if changes are good to merge into the project, create a pull request in github to merge your branch into the main branch
   • the main branch is our good code
9. back on your machine, git switch main or git checkout main to switch back to the main branch
   • git pull to make sure you have the most recent changes, then repeat the cycle

AOE Texturing (WIP)

• AOE Texture Replacer Scene handles rendering the AOEs and replacing the textures
• when ever we spawn an AOE, call add_sprite on the texture replacer and pass in your node
  • it will strip out the sprites and despawn timers
  • then hide the original aoe, it will still handle collisions, but we will render elsewhere
• sprites are added to canvas layer node in add mode (this will mix the colors)
• the canvas layer is invisible because it's in a subviewport
• we can get the image from the subviewport even if we can't see it
• a big white color rect covers the play area with the shader attached to it
• we pass in the subviewport texture, then replace primary and secondary colors with new textures
• IMPORTANT
  • only red and green supported right now
  • trivial to add new colors
  • still want to mask the walls from the tilemap so that the aoes stay under the walls
  • would like to add some wiggle

PNG Level Generation

• create a small pixel image (50x50 probably at the largest)
• each pixel color represents what should be generated
  • white = floor
  • black = wall
  • blue = hero spawn point
  • green = crystals
  • red = enemy spawner
• name the files level1.png (replace with your number)
• in level.gd import the image file as a const and add it to the level_images dictionary
• if there is an image for a specific level, it will get generated instead of whatever level was manually placed there

below is the png used for the current level 2
