Player Movement Prototype (Godot 4)

This repository contains a small gameplay prototype created during a school game club activity.
The project focuses on player movement, basic interaction, and animation blending using Godot 4.

🧑‍💻 My Contribution

I implemented the player movement system and basic gameplay interaction.

🔹 Features Implemented

• Player movement using:
  • WASD keyboard input
  • Mouse click movement
• Smooth movement blending using AnimationTree
• 8-directional movement (up, down, left, right, and diagonals) instead of simple 4-direction movement
• Basic player–enemy interaction:
  • Player loses health when colliding with enemies
• Input handling designed for responsive control

🎞 Animation System

• Used AnimationTree to blend movement animations smoothly
• Direction-based animation switching for 8 movement directions
• Improved visual smoothness compared to basic up/down/left/right animations

---

🧱 Technical Notes

• Movement implemented using Godot's node-based architecture
• Collision detection for enemy contact
• Simple health reduction logic on collision
• Clean separation between movement, animation, and collision handling
