A tutorials series on how to build a simple roguelike in the Godot Game Engine
Up until now, we've not concerned ourselves with what happens in between our players actions. We want to craft our game to use a kind of turn-based system, where all...
Things with an AI will receive a Brain Node as one of its children. Create a new scene; base `Node` "Brain" as `res://things/Brain.tscn` Script it. Its first method: `func take_turn():`...
