Hi again Godot fans! And FINALLY, welcome to the first part of my tower defense tutorial. I know you have been asking me for a while to do this, and I'm glad to finally get part 1 out to you.

In this part, we'll get started generating a random path from left to right that has a minimum length with all of the tiles orientated correctly. It's a follow along, and you will need some coding experience.

Let me know if anything doesn't make sense, and I'll do my best to respond in the comments!

Please like and subscribe, as this is the fuel from which I draw power to generate more content for you!

Enjoy!
