Let's Fight a Dragon with Godot
summary
Claims a daily GitHub commit for 2024 while learning Godot and shows a working 2D pixel game: reusable hitbox/hurtbox components with invulnerability timers, a finite state machine for idle/run/attack/using-gun, coffee pickups that heal, rubber‑duck physics grenades (RigidBody2D + explosion Area2D), and a RayCast2D minigun that aims at the mouse. Live coding assembles scenes, animations and collision layers; code lives on GitHub and the demo culminates in defeating the dragon.
