What I have coded in Godot

1. Jumping

2. Held jump

3. Controlled jump

4. Wall jump

5. Wall jump off

6. Run jump

7. Running

8. Acceleration

9. Air acceleration

10. Friction

11. Air resistance

12. Fast Fall

13. Slow fall

14. Gravity

15. Gravity excel

16. Animation change state

17. Slide coding (need to fix up)

18. Dynamic collision creation (need to fix up)

19. Slide Friction

20. Slide speed up

21. Slide gravity

22. Slide boost

23. Bullets created

24. Bullet move facing direction

25. Bullet move

26. Bullet Excel

27. Fixed the animation state with actor_state, long story short the actor state effects which animation is playing so each state the actor is in is changed

28. Camera shift (based on left and right)

29. Camera shift max for the distance horizontal

30. Camera slow excel of distance

Total Time used to complete this = 13 hours (11 total hrs - 5 hours from goofing off)

What I need to learn to code

1. Enemies

2. Moving enemies

3. Melee attacks

4. Uppercut Attack

What I learned

If conditions and variables

with the if condition you cannot have nested conditions that contradict each other and must stagger them for the given results you're trying to achieve so moving and or rearranging the said conditions can be your best bet to get the result you want.

This approach is relying less on branching coding.

The smallest bugs are the most annoying/ hardest to find

Psychological manipulation #2 Big numbers

 This is a fine balancing act for players but the goal of the matter is to keep going for the big numbers and keep the big numbers with them getting bigger, and bigger then you get the picture. With this not only having one set of numbers get bigger but having the other numbers get bigger as well. You need some form of system to keep the players wanting the numbers to get bigger. For idle clicker games you use the reset system to get the player coming back; with the MMORPG system you scale down those numbers in updates so you can keep numbers getting bigger or use the shared power system for the players to use. Personally I like using an XP reset system; once the XP hits max for the level, the XP subtracts from the XP cost bringing it down to 0 and as thus allowing that big number of XP to still feel big. Then you might be asking about the player leveling up which there is always the COD reset level system where once the level hits a big enough number you have it where the progress...

Power Creep

 Power creep can be both a good and a bad thing. With power creep you have it where players are being fed more powerful items or cards where they ditch old equipment for the new toys and make it so players will actually use it. On that same note you're trading the learning the items/ understanding how to make oneself more powerful through strats by relying on your given powerful new toys and making players throw them away again once more toys do show up. It's a useful investment strat for card games but does get boring for games where the only thing you have to look forward to is bigger more powerful numbers instead of different strats/ tactics you've never seen or used before with the bigger numbers feeling meaningless. Person experience; with Yu-Gi-Oh playing the rogue format was more fun even if I lost because I wasn't losing to the FTK format and actually scaled down in power with having fun seeing different strats/ tactics, that the limitations that were self impos...

Deck Size matters

 Small decks These kind of games make it where the game is being given a more consistent/ predictable strategy. The outcome being much more predictable but having it where players are dealing with mill and burn strats far too often making them busted. Large decks These kind of games make mill/ burn strats basically useless but have less reliance on consistent drawing what you want; however in a game where search abilities exist with the more search power the more options that open up and remove the down side of having a larger deck becomes.
