How to Contribute

Check out this Cheat Sheet for git commands

install git on your machine
using the command line git clone https://github.com/nuzcraft/gdfg-team-4.git to get a copy of the code repository
git pull to pull the most recent changes down from github to your machine
git branch new-branch-name to create a new branch to work from
git add * to add all new changes so they can be committed
git commit -m "message" to commit any added changes to to the branch
git push to push your changes up to github
- if the branch does not exist on github yet, git push --set-upstream origin new-branch-name will do the trick
if changes are good to merge into the project, create a pull request in github to merge your branch into the main branch
- the main branch is our good code
back on your machine, git switch main or git checkout main to switch back to the main branch
- git pull to make sure you have the most recent changes, then repeat the cycle

AOE Texture Replacer Scene handles rendering the AOEs and replacing the textures
when ever we spawn an AOE, call add_sprite on the texture replacer and pass in your node
- it will strip out the sprites and despawn timers
- then hide the original aoe, it will still handle collisions, but we will render elsewhere
sprites are added to canvas layer node in add mode (this will mix the colors)
the canvas layer is invisible because it's in a subviewport
we can get the image from the subviewport even if we can't see it
a big white color rect covers the play area with the shader attached to it
we pass in the subviewport texture, then replace primary and secondary colors with new textures
IMPORTANT
- only red and green supported right now
- trivial to add new colors
- still want to mask the walls from the tilemap so that the aoes stay under the walls
- would like to add some wiggle

create a small pixel image (50x50 probably at the largest)
each pixel color represents what should be generated
- white = floor
- black = wall
- blue = hero spawn point
- green = crystals
- red = enemy spawner
name the files level1.png (replace with your number)
in level.gd import the image file as a const and add it to the level_images dictionary
if there is an image for a specific level, it will get generated instead of whatever level was manually placed there

below is the png used for the current level 2
