What you'll learn

Learn the fundamentals of Godot 4

Learn how to create a procedural generation algorithm

You will learn the fundamentals mechanics of a 2D Roguelike game

You will build a prototype that you will be able to sale

Requirements

A bit of programming knowledge is needed (knowing function, variable, etc), but I'll teach you the rest

Description

In this course you will learn how to create a procedurally generated 2D Roguelike similar to games like Nuclear Throne or Enter the gungeon. We will use an algorithm called random walker that we will use to create automatically new levels: everytime we will load our level a new one will be automatically generated, which open the gate for infinite levels. We will learn how to place our player, groups of enemies and exit inside it, as well as instancing ammunitions when our enemy dies. We will also create from scratch a player with typical roguelike movement and shooting mechanic like having the rotation of our player and his gun based on the position of the mouse, we will learn how to configure a mouse icon that is animated, how to create enemies that can patrol randomly and chase you once you’ve been detected, and way much more.Here is a list of the things we will learn together:Generating procedurally a level that is autotiled with terrains and collisions shapeRotating the gun and the player toward the mouse positionInstancing enemies inside the border of our generated levelHaving our enemy chasing usBeing able to collect ammo by looting them inside our levelHaving a countdown that restart the level when reaching zeroCreating shader to damage the playerHaving screen shake when the bullet explodeHaving a player life systemHaving an exit portal that we need to find to continue playing the gameI’ve been enjoying making this new course as I am fascinated by procedural generation, and I hope that this course will be the right entry gate for you if you want to go deeper into that segment of programming that is rarely taught in a way that is complete and accessible for beginner programmer.The asset will be provided with this course, so you just have to enroll and start coding.So thank you for reading this and considering buying this course, and I’ll see you in the first lecture!
