This is a top-down game featuring the "move like a spaceship" block in the SimpleCharacter node. It is a more complete game based on the knowledge gained in the previous demos.

The inventory was done with boolean variables in the block coding. There are "has_blue_key" and a "has_blaster" in the block canvas for the ship.

A couple mechanics have been implemented with basic collision detection of Area2D "on body entered/exited". For instance:

• Camera zoom in and out when the player ship enter/leaves a specific zone.
• Open door when the player ship gets near the door and has a key.
• Change a flag like "has_blue_key" when the player ship grabs the blue key. Play an animation in that case too.
• Present messages on screen.

I was able to push the asteroids with the blasters by adding AnimatableBody2D nodes to them and then animating them.

Aesthetics: Sprites with CanvasTextures (diffuse and normal map) are used to give a 3D look, while still being 2D. Adding PointLight2D and LightOccluder2D nodes complete the effect. Also a CanvasModulate node is used in the main scene to darken the level.

There is no current way of spawning objects. That's why the blasters are implemented as an animation and they are fixed to the player ship. Rotating the ship rotates the blasters which is not what I wanted.

I wanted asteroids to have health and destroy with an animation, but the only option today is to use the "queue free" block on them. We need to fix the "call method in node" block to reference a node in a instantiated scene like this.
