Game Dev Journey

Game Assets:

All of the assets required can be downloaded here.

The sprites are in the Traps --> Fire

Folder.

Add the Spiked Ball folder to the FileSystem

Level Design:

Create any level you like.

You may copy my level layout.

We will place one Strawberry strategically

Also, we will create a scene for a Fire Pot

You don't have it yet

Create a new scene with Area2D as root

rename it to Fire

Add a CollisionShape2D with New RectangleShape2D

An an AnimatedSprite2D with Sprite Frames

Rename the default animation to "off"

use the Off.png as the frame

Add a new animation called on

Add a CollisionShape2D as a child of StaticBody2D

Add a New RectangleShape2D

Fit it around the fire pot

Attach a New script to the Fire node

add a reference variable to the AnimatedSprite2D

Select the Fire node

Connect the body entered signal

if the body is the player

and the fire is off

play the trigger animation

if the on animation is playing

call the hurt function of the player

Select the AnimatedSprite2D node

Connect the animation finished signal

if the animation name is trigger

Open the Player Script

To improve gameplay when the player is hurt we will make them invincible for a second before they can be hurt again

Add an invincibility duration variable

Add an is_invincible variable

Modify the hurt function

if the player is invincible or dead

the function exits early

otherwise

set hit to true

reduce hearts by 1

update the hud frame

if hearts are below 0

call death function

otherwise

set invincible to true

start the invincibility timer
