Sprite source

• player gabe - bevy assets
• plains (grass, dirt, higher ground), decor, fences, objects (trees, rocks, signs)
  • https://game-endeavor.itch.io/mystic-woods
• frog, houses
  • https://pixel-boy.itch.io/ninja-adventure-asset-pack
  • This is an amazing asset source. It is full of many free animated sprites and tileSets. I highly encourage to use it when playing with this.

Issues I found workarounds for

To look for real fixes in the future, if someone is looking to build upon this code.

• UI wrapping text

  • Bevy issue
  • see in ui.rs under "Known issue"
  • bevyengine/bevy#1490

• Accessing entity_refs outside the current level

  • bevy_ecs_ldtk issue
  • see in door.rs under "Known issue"
  • Trouv/bevy_ecs_ldtk#113

• Sprite selection from multiple tiles loads the wrong tiles

  • bevy_ecs_ldtk issue
  • workaround: multi-tile sprites have to be cut out from sprite sheets into their own sheet - see toriiGate.png from TilesetHouse.png or treeBig.png from objects.png
  • Trouv/bevy_ecs_ldtk#151

• Rules based tiles don't use pivot

  • bevy_ecs_ldtk issue
  • workaround: some ground objects had to be remade as entities
  • Trouv/bevy_ecs_ldtk#152
