Papa Quark

I am making a #Godot4 tutorial on how to use noise to make a proc gen map.

I rehersed the script to make sure I could get through it. I learned a couple of things.
•it took longer than planned
•my keyboard is loud
•I need to paste or speed up repetitive parts of writing code

@papaquark if you target people who are already somewhat proficient with gdscript you can skip a lot of the actual coding and just demo techniques. I find "to type `if` you need to first press i key and then f key" kind of tutos pretty lame.

I think Acerola is gold standard in this sort of thing.

@muhuk thanks for the tip I have seen some tutorials by him and I love them. My aim is showing ppl how you can do things in Godot with fun examples and inspire further experimentation. I want to talk about how things can be used and connected (there is a great feeling when you get something conceptual ly and can use it for your own ideas)

Depending on the code editor you use it could be nice to look into live templates/snippets. A blogpost describing the concept using Rider: https://poornimanayar.co.uk/blog/code-demos-made-easy-with-jetbrains-rider-live-templates/

If you use VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets

I'm not sure if such a thing already exists for Godot itself

@papaquark looking forward to it, I've done similar stuff in unity but not Godot yet 😀

@frozenfire92 thanks I did it in gamemaker some time ago but doing it in Godot is an absolute breeze in comparison.
