Here is a short practice project you can try with Godot:
Create a simple “collect the coins” game:
- Create a new Godot project and add a player character sprite node to the scene.
- Add some coins as child nodes to the player character node. You can use the “Sprite” node type and give it an image of a coin.
- Add movement to the player character, using the same code as in the tutorial above.
- Add collision detection to the player character and coins, so that when the player character collides with a coin, the coin disappears and a score increases. You can use Godot’s built-in “Area2D” node for this, and connect the “body_entered” signal to a script function that removes the coin and updates the score.
- Add a “Game Over” screen that is displayed when the player character collects all the coins. You can use a separate scene for this and switch to it when the score reaches a certain threshold.
- Add sound effects and music to the game, using the Godot audio system.
- Test and refine the game as needed, and then export it for the desired platform.
This simple project will help you get more familiar with Godot’s basic features, including sprites, movement, collision detection, and user interfaces. You can build on this project to create more complex games and explore more advanced features of Godot.
