Learn Game Dev by Coding Legend of Zelda From Scratch!

Add a sprite component and render system to display Link from a sprite sheet via src rect, then build an animation system with frames, game time, and a should-animate flag.

Use a time-based animation formula to drive frame changes, then render a Zelda-like tile world with screens and padding, and implement a collision system with a debug mode for hitboxes.

Build a door transition to the shop, create transition objects and a transition system, and use an event bus to load new screens while managing player creation and screen resets.

Build an actionable component to trigger the sword pickup animation, swap tiles, pause input, and update Link's inventory as he equips the magical sword.

Implement audio using an audio object that loads overworld or important item mp3s, loops on load, and trigger the inventory sliding with pause to reveal Link's sword from sprite sheet.

Add new areas to explore in a Zelda-style overworld by linking screens a through e with doors and transitions, updating index.js and opening screen logic.

Explore foundations of enemy AI and decision making by building a debug system, rendering tile IDs, and implementing a state machine driven enemy that chases Link.

Explore building a navigable graph, apply binary search and Dijkstra's algorithm to guide an enemy along rails toward Link, using tile-based x/y coordinates and an adjacency list for pathfinding.

Learns to implement hitbox and health components, test overlaps, apply health and invulnerability frames, render hearts for player health, and add knockback and collision handling with movement friction.

Create and integrate a dynamic item drop system for enemies, including a drop table with bombs and rupees, on-death drops, pickup behavior, and inventory updates.

Polish Zelda-style combat by adding a bomb projectile, input handling for C to fire, explosion effects with smoke hitboxes, and event-driven detonation alongside enemy rock attacks.
