I really like your content. Can you do a video on architecture? Specifically focusing on best practices with encapsulation etc.

there is no right way, just opinions on what the right way is, do it what ever way you like if the code is for your own eyes only, for group work, decide on a consistent naming scheme to minimize confusion.

I like to use func SBUAPC(A:int)->void:#ShortButUnreadableAbbreviationPascalCase that way I can have ASDFG(SBUAPC(4),QWERT(3),ZXCV(2),POIUY(1),LKJHG(0),) but then I am the sort of person that believes if it's code that compiles, then it's good code.

Good one. 👌

Finally, a new video 😊

My friend and I dabble in game dev. I found Azure Devops only limits your repo to the count of contributors. Maybe the size limit is there but it's bigger than GitHub. We have a few 3D assets in a repo and art chewing up space and still no issues using it FREE!

OOP: "Bad cuz code duplication" @2:49 : (in reference to composition) "... copying them and duplicating them as necessary"... lol

thank you very much. i used this setup to see a ReferenceImage dock so i don't have to open the image in another program to set the mood for the current part of the game project

Great Video! Music a bit lower please tho

in 14:15 how do you tranform the line 3 to godot 4 I have like @export var MY_ITEM: Resource all goods but I don't really know how to put the setget _setItem

Hi Jacob .. Just got through this whole vid (had to do 1.5x speed ;P) and really enjoyed your candidness and putting yourself out there. It seems to me you're on a solid track to being highly successful, if you manage to keep to your Change list ;) .. Oh and huge congratz on the baby that's on the way! .. I've coded at an amateur level for years, mostly making generative art (let me know if you're interested in seeing that) and now I'm busy creating a mobile game inspired by the classic Arkanoid. Your advice in this video was spot-on for various things I was thinking about doing, so thank you. I found you because I realised I should probably be using enums lol, so learning about them atm. I started with this game as a way to learn Godot/GDscript, but it has fast beome something much more than a simple arkanoid clone that I'm becoming proud of. Let me know if you'd like to give it a test-play - I've got internal testing set up on the play store and would just need to add your email =) .. Thanks again, have subscribed! Looking forward to more videos

nice vide. Just variable names convention is snake_case.

Thank you, Jacob, I really needed to hear this. I believe our paths and goals are quite similar, with the difference that I am in the beginning, and I am yet to commit those mistakes. Even knowing they will come, I just know I will fall for them haha. Learning from mistakes, I suppose. Thank you for the help, Jacob, I hope your game succeeds.

Perforce is my favorite version control for games, but you *definitely* don't need an AWS container for your depot lol. That stuff racks up quick; I accidentally burned through $100 of Azure credit in a couple weeks because I left a test resource running lmao. Good luck on the game!

I'm also a godot game dev finishing a similiar cycle, haven't publish any content but i will soon finish my prototype of a 3d endless runner.

Your hair flipped!

millions of dollars

Hey man, love the vid but i got a problem with the Velocity module, im using the latest version of godot, I get the error : " Cannot call non-static function "is_on_floor()" on the class "CharacterBody2D" directly. Make an instance instead. " Any idea on how to fix it? Thx for the vid btw

question abt naming: u name a few funcs differently, e. g. checkMailInput() and deliver_mail(), same with vars: mailBag, mail_target, etc. Is there any reason / tie to ur architecture logic why switch between these naming conventions? edit: another question, u mentioned that module containers can be modules too, how would u enforce that? just add an export group in that module container for the required modules?

2 years latet and this is still very helpful. Even with outdated syntax ( exports) and stuff, its a great video showcasing the fundemental parts of making an item system in godot. Videos like this are hard to find now because everyone just wants to show off their way to make inventories, instead of just showing people fundementals of items. So thank you even now for this fantastic video!

This also just makes sense in the real world. A platypus deviates from the standard "mammal" and may not inherit everything most other mammals have.

Hey fr🐔nds

Amazing lesson. Subscribed hoping that you'll release the next part!

personally, i'd set the individual node export var to automatically choose the parent characterbody IF the variable is null. Otherwise, I do like the idea of being able to set up the parent node manually, i usually just set it to get_parent().get_parent() lmao

"Composition over Inheritance" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_over_inheritance python-patterns.guide/gang-of-four/composition-over-inheritance/

Great video. I am trying to learn how to code games with no prior coding knowledge or experience. This video was way over my head, but still enjoyed it. Nice job!

Your manner of speaking while you explain things feels insulting since I am not a child (and I'd probably still be miffed even then), but this is still a good tutorial. I've been trying to find a tutorial that was more than "here's my composition nodes. Look, I can put this health component on this NPC _and_ this player. WoOooOOo~." without ever actually explaining how it works. Most of it was pretty obvious, but the part that had always escaped me before was connecting things once you added them. My OOP addled brain would always try to connect them in the parent class making the system _mostly_ redundant. At least then the change wouldn't necessitate modifying everything that used that component if I decided to add or remove one from an entity. So I essentially had just adapted the modularization to OOP principles without actually taking full benefit of the composition's strengths. So you and Godotoneer's videos were the only ones that were helpful (but the latter is long and takes me a few days to actually watch through with how dry it is despite it being _very_ informative). So thank you for making this tutorial, and I'll _try_ sitting through more of your tuts in the future since it's quite clear that you know what you're doing unlike people who regurgitate the bare minimum and only specifically as it applies to their system.

OOP is not equal to "inheritance". Composition is absolutely OOP as well. The better way to put it: use inheritance for "system" logic, and composition for "business" logic.

Oi, where's episode 3 mate? You're 4 months overdue.

Thank you, sir

For Godot 4: The syntax for exports is like this @export var my_item : Resource I had to change the item_sprite script quite a bit. Here it is. Mind you I don't use the same naming conventions as him so it won't directly port over but you should easily be able to see the pattern in what needs changed. extends TextureRect @export var my_item : Resource: set = _set_item @onready var my_label = $RichTextLabel func _ready(): if my_item: _set_item(my_item) # Initialize the item if it is set from the start func add_quantity(amount_added : int): my_item.add_quantity(amount_added) _update_label() # Ensure the label is updated func _set_item(new_item : Resource): print("setting item") my_item = new_item self.texture = my_item.get_texture() _update_label() # Update the label with the new item func _update_label(): if my_label and my_item: my_label.bbcode_text = str(my_item.get_quantity())

Where's the third video???

Um... good luck with dealing with hundreds (thousands) of unique items/characters.

So are enums like each unieque item in minecraft, where there is number assigned to each of them?

For those getting this error: Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'instance' in base 'PackedScene'. Switch editorAddon.instance() to editorAddon.instantiate()

When I tried using "@export_node_path(Sprite2D)" I got an error message saying that Sprite2D "isn't a constant expression". Any suggestions?

How can I hide the script name at the top of the inspector. The scriptname category.

Interesting that you don't use any custom Resources. Have you considered how they may work with a compositional system like this? I have recently started using Resources and they seem quite powerful for compositional systems.

This was very helpful, thank you

this is easier than unity editor

Did anyone have a trouble with Y sort enabled when implementing workflow like he did?

Thank you for this video.

I loved this, recently i made a game in Godot for my college event & it turned out to be lil messy for my side cuz i didn't know how to organise the code, but glad that everyone like my game ☺️✨ Now learning from that, I'm trying to learn about coding patterns & management stuffs. Thus, so i found this channel & im glad i found it... Pls make more videos like this 💗💗💗 Love from India 🇮🇳

How did you approach the inventory singleton? I tried to make one and I created a dictionary to store all items and a function to load them when one is added but Im pretty sure there should be a better way to do it

enums could be very useful in custom resources

Do the flags tutorial for real! A question I have coming off this video, how would I check if a weapon has a specific damage type without looping through and bitshifting them? I know this is a google-able question but it would still be cool

damn the glowing border around the sub button ar 1:44 was awesome. first time i saw that. was that something u needed to code yourself or a new feature from yt?

How can i move the play button of the editor to the middle?

Hey man, how do i make conditional export enum? Like if i choose between weapon or consumable the next option will appear: axe sword etc if i choose weapon or potion bomb etc if i choose consumable

you forgot to link the previous episode in the description
