In this video, I continue developing a Minesweeper game in the Godot game engine. This is Day 8 of the project, and we're focusing on adding critical functionality to make the game more polished and user-friendly.
Here’s what we work on in this session:
**Centering the Tile Map**: I discuss and implement techniques to perfectly center the Minesweeper tile map on the screen, ensuring a better user experience.
**Adding a HUD for Mines Remaining**: Learn how I create a UI to display the number of remaining mines, dynamically updating based on player actions.
**Player Customization**: I add a feature that allows players to choose the map size—from small grids to large ones—directly via a menu button.
**Implementing Game Over Logic**: We work through enabling game-over conditions. This includes revealing all mines when a player loses and adding an overlay with buttons for exiting or restarting the game.
**Resetting Game State**: I refine the logic for resetting game data to allow seamless restarts without breaking functionality.
This video dives deep into problem-solving with code and design considerations for a simple yet functional game project. Whether you're new to Godot or an experienced game developer, you'll find useful insights and techniques during this build.
