More Godot advice needed for Game_That_is_Like_Rogue:
How to store Data?
Unchanging lists to call from, such as Room Types, Loot Tables, Monsters, etc.
Global DataManager, holding Resources, that LootMaker and MonsterMaker etc can call on?

Godot Question:
I am making a Game_That_is_Like_Rogue, and wondering the "best" way to store Stats in the player class.
I have seen that Dictionaries are useful, but is it a good idea to store different data-types in the same dictionary?
e.g. I need some Strings, ints, floats, arrays, etc.
Or do I split into Dictionary_of_strings, Dictionary_of_ints, etc?
Or even put these into one big Dictionary?
Advices?

Lots of work still to do, but basics of Dungeon are working.
Proc Gen rooms + corridors, using Prim's Algo.
Not sure which bit to work on next. Probably the HUD/UI. I'll need an Inventory, Player Stats, Dungeon Level, etc.
If I build all the Placeholders modular, I can* simply** just*** drop in replacements as they get built.
*might **not simple ***maybe

Ruby Radiance
Not exactly failing at the *first* hurdle, but... my GridMaps don't have colliders! :(
The Scenes used to make them are StaticBody3D, with MeshInstance3D and CollisionShape3D. I can see the blue colliders in the Scene.
If I add them directly to my Dungeon scene, they work fine, but putting them into the MeshLibrary for GridMap loses the Collider! :(
Any clues?

Thanks for the feedback.
Current plan:
Player scene held in "Main", as a sibling of "Level" scenes.
Levels have _ready(): emit "Spawn player at Spawn point" signal. Player connects to this, and teleports to Spawn Point.
But as Levels don't know about Player (and I am in my "Everything Is A Signal!" era), I need to figure how to make everything talk to each other. I have ideas

Finally made a decision over which Scene Change code to use.
BiLLz Devs on YouTube has quite a complex one, so I'm sure I will implement it properly (especially with my "improvements" and customisations!)
New Title: Ruby Radiance.
It's a Rouge-Lite.
Progress so far: Placeholder Splash Screens to show proof-of-concept for scene-changer

Did I do a roguelike?!?

As an oft-ignored aside to "What is a Roguelike, anyway?", I also have opinions on what "Proc-Gen" is.
In each specific implementation, it can be quite strictly defined, but the general concept, what the words mean, is broad and all-encompassing.
"Generated using a Procedure".
Woohoo. I am now no further enlightened.

Is Sid Meier's Civilisation a Roguelike?

I posit that it is more Roguelike than most (all?) "Modern Roguelikes"
I used to play Roguelikes, but then they changed what Roguelike means. Now what I play isn't Roguelike, and what is Roguelike seems weird and scary to me.
And it'll happen to your genres, too!
