This answered so many questions I had about referencing properties/functions across Godot scripts.

Now I can at least feel somewhat reassured that I'm not creating an unmanageable pile of spaghetti-code.

He does an amazing job of explaining what makes games ‘fun’ and keeps players coming back for more.

Unit selection done for my first #godot prototype… Not much to look at, but the code at least feels solid, with a global signal bus and helper classes in place.

So that just leaves everything else on the list still to do 😩
