Godot 4.1 Tower Defense Tutorial - Part 04 (Enemy Waves and States)
122Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well ! So sorry for the delay getting this one out. It's been a tough week at work, which I won't bore you with!!
Anyhow, it's time to get those enemies rolling across the screen in a wave fashion. Let's talk about the State Pattern, and how we can use it to make our code clean and easy to use.
As always, I hope you will give this video a thumbs up if you're enjoying it... And maybe a subscribe if you're feeling it. And I always appreciate comments, and will do my best to respond to every one of them.
Enjoy!
