Noodle

This is a simple game where your character must move to avoid obstacles and to hit targets.

Todo list

• export to mobile and figure out touch controls
  • get android emulator and apk export to work
  • how to make responsive resolution?
• make something cool happen when you capture obstacles in a tail circle
• make an enemy that very slowly chases you
• create a different creep enemy
• squiggle/shake gesture to quickly retract the tail, or some other kind of error correction mechanic.
• add logic and labels for health and kill counters
  • fix overlap of score and timer
• replace legacy creep assets
• add targets that collide with the head to grant bonus points (power ups)
  • why can I pick up powerups before pressing start?
  • why don't they respawn?
• port actionrpg hiteffects to complete the hurtbox script (animatedSprite -> HitEffect.png, audiostreamplayer -> Hit.wav)

Questions

What does a productionalized/released version of my game look like?

• gameplay loop, audience, devices, theme (ramen), goal license

gameplay loop:

** ourobouras shapes: something cool should happen. ** wow moment! ** tail grows longer to a certain length. make weak enemies that suggest ways to hack the loops then make monsters that no longer fall for it.

audience

• if I want people to enjoy it: ** depends on testing! QA woot! ** developer bias, I know the whitebox ** have gameplay tests with new people, take notes, all that good stuff. ** go somewhere familiar, hey you wanna play it, then watch! ** all ages should be able to play.

missing

• visual theme

• decide on input lag for touch, it may be better to have responsiveness

• Is any of it salvagable or should I just start refactoring it?

• Any things to keep an eye out for as I proceed down this path?

• Can you plot a course for the beginner's mind?

How can I do pinpoint performance problems?

• I feel like the creeps slowdown sometimes

Can you suggest a good resource on how to palette swap my creeps?

• I want to try an ikaruga mechanic

The theme is cooking up to be about a dragon in a ramen bowl. Like a nyan cat, but a dragon with ramen. Any advice or insight on:

• Ripple animations to represent the wet surface of the soup
• need a shader. godot shader, water simulation, animations, particle system is a good option, particsl 2d node atatchedc to player
• shad3r course and videos!
• free intro to shaders
• shockwave shader

Any advice or insight on my combo system?

• one tailsession is defines the tail from when you start moving until you stop moving.
• all creeps defeated within one tailsession produce bonus points
• enclosing more than 2 creeps in a tailsession (like an ouroboros) defeats them simultaneously, grants bonus points, and terminates the tailsession (like a flourish/finisher). is it as simple as checking if the head intersects any line segments in the tail?

Android notes

The setup that worked for me

I encountered this problem today in Godot 3.4.2. Like you, I tried experimented with changing several paths, installing new versions of build_tools and upgrading my JDK. The following finally fixed my issue:

Uninstall OpenJDK 11 (and OpenJDK 8, if you have it)
Uninstall Android Studio
Delete all files from %USER_HOME%\appdata\Local\Android\Sdk
Reinstall OpenJDK 11
Install the Android SDK using the command line tools described in Godot's instructions: sdkmanager --sdk_root=<android_sdk_path> "platform-tools" "build-tools;30.0.3" "platforms;android-29" "cmdline-tools;latest" "cmake;3.10.2.4988404" "ndk;21.4.7075529"

I think the most crucial step is deleting the files from %USER_HOME%\appdata\Local\Android\Sdk.

then install android studio to get emulator and rest of steps like debug key etc etc

start emulator cd C:\Users\lucas\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools-2 .\adb.exe install ..\tools\Noodles.apk

how to run emulator

open android studio choose virtual device manager from dropdown run an emulator click the android button that's now beside the play button
