Questions

• Recharging flower box at the well feels kinda weird

• How do we communicate that flower has been watered?

  • Wet ground below flower that dries up?

• Pre-lose state?

• How about that wilted flowers stay wilted and hinder the players strength to fight plevel?

  • Maybe slow them down?
  • Maybe the plevel grows stronger? -> Takes more hits to destroy?

• Does destroying plevel give something to the player?

  • Maybe gives them a sazenička? -> Yes, to bedýnka
  • Maybe gives them a speed boost

• How many flowers can the player spawn?

TODO

• End game gets triggerd when not all plevel has grown or is even growing

  • Seems kinda fixed? Nope :D

• Trigger final hudba in the end game

• Fade out/in keeps looping?!

• Only a single type of flower is being spawned

• Z key is not accessible for QWERTZ -> Rebound to B and Space

• Game progression

  • Initial, only sazeničky
  • Konev comes into action
  • First plevel spawns
  • Motyka is revealed
  • The full garden is available
  • More and more plevel spawns
  • When the plevel overwhelms the garden it transforms into a colored garden

• Zooming out camera

  • Based on progression

• Player

  • Pick up animation
    • Play when planting flowers
    • When picking up/swapping/dropping items? Faster?

• Items

  • 🐛 Dropping/swapping items messes with the collision shape of flower box. WTF?!
  • Let the player drop an item anywhere
  • Flower sazeničky bedýnka
    • Holds up to 4 sazaničky
    • Spawns one of n plants at a time
  • Konev
    • Has to be refilled at the well
    • Has only n charges
    • Enables the player to water the plants
  • Motyka
    • Removes plevel after a duration growth_stages.size() hits
      • Maybe a mini-game? 😂
    • Enables the player to remove plevel

    • Despawn -> fade out and destroy
    • Activates when the plevel reaches its final growth stage

• Plevel

  • Spawns ?randomly?
    • Likely nearby flowers
  • Can be removed by the player
    • After a timeout aka. holding the motyka activated
  • Has three stages
  • When it grows to the final stage it wilts the overlapping flowers
  • 🐛 Destroying plevel skips the first growth stage
  • 🐛 Plevel doesn't wilt the plant
  • 🐛 Plevel seems to wilt too many plants, not just those that it overlaps

• Lantern boundaries

  • Do not let the player go outside the screen/camera boundary

  • Looping

• Overwatering a plant spawns more plevel 😈
