Course Timeline
Project Setup and 2D Physics Foundation
Configuring the engine for 2D, setting up portrait mode, and creating the bird's gravity and flap mechanics.
Infinite Scrolling Environment with Shaders
Create a seamlessly looping background using Godot 4 shaders and a ColorRect to simulate forward movement.
Procedural Pipe Generation and Collision Detection
Learn how to dynamically spawn obstacles in Godot 4 using instancing, manage memory with visibility notifiers, and trigger custom score events.
UI Integration, Game Over State, and Score Tracking
Learn how to build a dynamic UI in Godot 4 using CanvasLayer, track player scores, and implement a robust Game Over state with scene restarting.
Game Polish: Audio, Screen Shake, and Main Menu
Finalize your Godot 4 2D game by adding sound effects, implementing a camera shake component on impact, and creating a start menu state.
