Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 9 - Sound Effects and Music

In this tutorial, we're going to get into sound effects and music. Unfortunately, since Godot doesn't package any sample sound effects with a new project, I'm going to be using a few of my own files. You can download them from Mediafire below, or use your own.

In Godot 2.1, there are two separate ways to play sound effects. One is by using "samples", and one is by using "streams". Samples are designed to be played quickly, a lot of times and often. This might include things like bullet shots, jumping sound effects, footsteps, or anything in between. Streams are the opposite. They are designed to be played less frequently, but for longer. Usually, the StreamPlayer is used for playing music.

Now, let's get started.

In this tutorial, we're going to delve into the exciting world of the AnimationPlayer, the node which (unsurprisingly) handles animations.

Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 7 - Instancing

In this tutorial, I'm going to explain instancing. This topic isn't super hard, so prepare for a little break from the more intensive stuff!

In this tutorial, we're going to deal with intersections and signals. I'm sorry to let you down, but we're going to have to put off instancing until later since it's actually a lot bigger than I thought. I hope you can forgive me for the most egregious form of deceit.

Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 5 - Basic Physics and Collision

In this tutorial, I'm going to be explaining the topic of collision. However, before we can get into collision, I'm going to need to show you some physics bodies and how they work.

Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 4 - Input

In this tutorial, I'm going to explain how to add some input handling to your game. I think it's safe to say that most of you will want to know about this one!

Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 3 - Scripts

Watch the video version of this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CouU0HDWeFo

In this tutorial, things are about to get interesting. We're going to use GDScript to add some functionality to the nodes from Part 2. Also, I'm going to assume that you have some knowledge of how a programming language works, though I'm still going to explain how to use GDScript.

Gitting Gud At Godot - Part 2 - Nodes

Watch the video version of this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvbkoaH9Ayg

In this tutorial, I'm going to cover the concept of nodes and what you can do with them in a bit more detail than in part 1.
