GodotRoguelikeTutorial VS cov-python

I'm currently following the sidebar's Godot tutorial , since I'm totally new to engines such as Unreal, Godot or Unity. i'm way more used to the "good old way", i.e. I program everything myself.

I'm working my way through this tutorial on setting up the basics of a roguelike tile system. Throughout the tutorial, the writer uses separate scripts to fill in basic string names, and I'm not clear on why this is necessary. For instance, in chapter 4:

But I ended up going to /u/Bozar42 Godot Roguelike tutorial (https://github.com/Bozar/GodotRoguelikeTutorial/wiki) because I feel the freedom a game engine, with this new Design Pattern (ECS), and procedural thinking, will give me the tools I'm looking for.

My personal recommendation is Godot, it has visual scripting if you want to try that route. I was trying out making tile-based worlds for a roguelike before I decided to go textbased for the tutorial series this sub is doing right now. To get started right away, I'd recommend the Godot tutorial listed here.

A nice feature of this project so far is that everything is condensed. I checked out the godot tutorial before going my own path. Right now the scene is four nodes with a single script governing everything.

Woo, had a bit of a catch up to do this week! Last week caught me out with some big life admin, but I had a fair amount of time this week to work on this. I also managed to implement BSP Map Generation. I had a whack of trouble getting the corridors to line up with all of the rooms; turns out all of the tutorials I followed had minimum room sizes of half the nodes - not sure if that was the best way for me to fix it, but the problem has now gone away ;) Repo
