My 20 Game Challenge!

First attempt at Godot with the 20 Game Challenge starting with Pong! 

Note: DO NOT PRESS QUIT (as this was part of an executable option and it WILL HALT THE GAME). If done so, please press restart. 

Objective(updated on Jan 6,2025) - Flappy Bird!:

Goals:

• Create a game world with a floor.
• Add an object that represents the main character. Apply a constant force to the character so it falls to the floor.
• Add obstacles on the left of the game area. The obstacles should slide across the screen toward the right. The obstacles will appear in pairs, with a vertical gap between them.
• Detect when the character collides with the floor or obstacles, and reset the game when a collision occurs.
• Accumulate one point for each obstacle that the player passes. Display the score.

Stretch goals:

• Add some sounds that will play each time the player gains a point, and when the player loses.
• Add a basic game-over screen to display the player’s score.
• Track the high-score between play sessions and display the high score alongside the current score.
• Add some background art! Try layering the background and scrolling at a different rate to the foreground obstacles. This is called Parallax scrolling. (Achieved without binding to camera node)

• Ability to save scoreboards in local storage
• Improve accessibility options with new volume settings
• Change UI code to improve experience (particularly the start button)  - Updated on Jan 6, 2025: Fixed bug with start button to allow mouse input
• Shaders for user customizability (This will also involve User name modification that is global)
