A first try in making a rythmic platform game in Godot

ToDo v0.3

make demo riff (150bpm) * done, trouble with bass export
does music preload ? How preload music work ? * seems to work like that
add icons to Beat and Grid * done
add a full riff counter to trigger events that span on multiple measures * done, not very elegant, maybe add it into Tempo class
set the music and tempo in project * done, triggered with buttons and layers wait for next measure to start.
make filled blocs with collisionShape * done with custom parameters but doesn't work when duplicating it to another scene
make blocs movements triggered by tempo data _ *done, but better with animationPlayer_
make areas to reach to trigger new layers of music and level * done
try player stick to platform (move_and_slide_with_snap) * done
experiment more detailed bloc movements with animationPlayer * done, by checking 'sync to physics' in collision parameter of KinematicBody
make different bloc behaviours * WIP
check how to apply tempo data to animationPlayer animation _ better be done by injecting midi data and convert tick to absolute time
test game mechanics

may need to make tempo with 16th
make tempo global, see how to connect it to any element * No, better have one tempo per song
have a midi parsing and then syncing or selecting trigger events on a visual GUI
separate X and Y line steps for grid subdivisions
keyboard input for the time being, make swipe after
have a "1,2,3,4!" when touching an area, so that player analyzes level rythm first, later in the gamedev
try player that moves like blocs but on user input
try player movement/input in sync with tempo

better tempo algorythm, data structure and bgm sync * done, make it global
blocs movements not pixel-perfect, to solve * solved thanks to Tweens
how to have 'reaching' animations, ex: speed curve before reaching beat hit, can move on beat or reach beat * Getting closer, can trigger tween 1 quart before for example and using Expo curve for example
more modular bloc behaviors. ex: move 1, wait 1, back 1 use animationPlayer

Make metronome * done, and solved latency bug by using 1 timer instead of 3
Metronome sends tempo data out * done
player receives tempo data * done
player moves sync to tempo * done, parameters : direction, distance and on which beat move
implement all eight beats scenario * done, refactoring may be needed later
have speed adapt to selected beat, or make it custom for each element * done, exported in inspector for now
make a grid * done
make different platform elements & behaviors * tested by duplicating in editor and works. later refactor in a more scalable design
make player & input (keyboard UP/LEFT/RIGHT/DOWN) * done, simple keyboard inputs
test a first game design with music at 120bpm * WIP, make better collision shapes
