I want you to challenge me (a godot beginner) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey, i want to learn how to use the godot game engine to act upon my game design dreams.

Only Problem is i never used a game engine. I have limeted experience creating games in dosbox with python.

And i am looking for fun beginner challenges that i can finish within around an hour! what do you think i should do in godot to learn the fundamentals?

For example: Create a character that needs to jump to win. Challenges of that sort. Hope to get some achivable, creative promps :)

Make Minesweeper.

Board size should be configurable on both axes
Number of bombs should be configurable
First click should always be 'safe'
User should be able to mark unsafe tiles as bombs
Game should detect a win and a loss

It's a surprisingly simple game to make, but it's great for learning arrays and user input and Godot's GUI system (the board can be a grid container.)

Make Minesweeper

Similar (I don't know how much more difficult/different it'd be to implement):

Somebody recently made a newer version (free on Itch) called Dragonsweeper. I never really understood the appeal of Minesweeper, but this version makes it click for me (aside from more elements, the math and piece logic allows for more deduction). That, and it probably helps that you can make informed guesses (particularly further into a game) as the mines are not the main focus.

Their version is highly engaging, though does not currently include configuration or even a replay (after win) button.

It's got me thinking that I want to make my own version, half as an excuse to make polygonal* art.

The first-step oversimplified version of this would be like normal minesweeper, though you:

sum the value of cells (not just checking if full/empty)
allow marking with numbers, not just a flag
have mines be a value of 100 instead of 1
add smaller-value tiles and a system to pace their removal (some freedom, can still lose here)
re-sum neighboring tiles when a tile is removed

*= I have done 2D in-engine, 3D via blender+vertex colors, plus general material/shader tinkering.
