Game Dev Journey

We will set up a generic fruit (apple) upon which we base all the other fruit types

Grab the graphical assets here =>

Create a new scene with CharacterBody2D as root

Rename it to Fruit

Add a Node2D as child

Rename it to WholeFruit

Add a Sprite2D as a child

Select the Sprite2D

Add apple_small.png as Texture

Add a new Node2D as child of Fruit

Rename it to SliceRight

Add a CharacterBody2D as child

Add a TextureRect as child

Rename it to Half1

Add a Sprite2D as child

Select the Sprite2D

Set the Texture to apple_small.png

It should overlap the existing apple

It should appear as though there

Is only one apple

Select the Half1 TextureRect

Resize and reposition it so that

It cuts the apple in half horizontally

Set Clip Children to Clip Only

If you make WholeFruit invisible now

You will see the top half of the apple only

Select Half1 and duplicate it

Select Half2 TextureRect

Reposition it to cut through the

Bottom of the apple

If you hide the Half1 Sprite2D

You will see the effect

To create the vertical slices

Duplicate SliceRight

Rename it to SliceDown

It must be a child of Fruit

This is for the left and right

Sides of the Fruit

So for Half1 TextureRect

Reposition it to the left

Now if you hide the WholeFruit

You will see only the left side

For Half2 TextureRect

Reposition it to the right

Now if you hide the WholeFruit

And hide Half1 Sprite2D

You will see only the right side

For the Diagonal slices

Create a new Node2D as child of Fruit

Rename it to SlicedRightSlash

Add a CharacterBody2D as child

Rename it to Half1

Add a TextureRect as child

Rename it to Half1

Add a Sprite2D as child

Select the Sprite2D of Half1

Add the apple_small.png Texture

Select the Half1 TextureRect

Rotate it -45 degrees

To cut the apple

Diagonally

If you hide the other sections

You can see the slice you have made

For the bottom slice

Duplicate the Half1 of SlicedRightSlash

Select the Half2 TextureRect

Reposition it to be at the bottom right

If you hide the other sections

You can see the slice you have made

Duplicate the SlicedLeftSlash

Reposition the TextureRects

Ensure your slices are correct

In order to detect the slash directions, we must set up some areas and collisions

Create an Area2D as a child of Fruit

Rename it to HorizontalSlashArea

Add a CollisionShape2D as child

Add a new RectangleShape2D

Extend it through the Apple

Create an Area2D as a child of Fruit

Rename it to VerticalSlashArea

Add a CollisionShape2D as child

Add a new RectangleShape2D

Extend it through the Apple

Create an Area2D as a child of Fruit

Rename it to DiagonalRightSlashArea

Add a CollisionShape2D as child

Add a new RectangleShape2D

Extend it through the Apple

Create an Area2D as a child of Fruit

Rename it to DiagonalLeftSlashArea

Add a CollisionShape2D as child

Add a new RectangleShape2D

Extend it through the Apple

Finally, add a VisibleOnScreenNotifier

As child of Fruit

Expand the area of the VisibleOnScreenNotifier Node

To cover more than the size of the apple

To accomodate different types of Fruit

Add a New Script to the Fruit Node

Fruit Slash
