I am now working on my second big #GodotEngine game, and finally feeling like I'm learning how to properly code large projects, so it's easier to work with them.

For example, I just discovered how to combine all my numerous crude data dictionaries with code typing/safety, with minimal extra code 😅
Godot class with static var/functions class_name ChallengeData enum Type { TUTORIAL, IMPOSSIBLE, # ... } static var CHALLENGES: Dictionary[Type, Dictionary] = { Type.TUTORIAL: { "title": "Easy challenge", "description": "This is a tutorial challenge to get you started", "nestedData": { "image": preload("res://img/tutorial/1.png") } }, Type.IMPOSSIBLE: { "title": "Impossible challenge", "description": "Yes, right after tutorial. Welcome to dark souls", "nestedData": { "image": preload("res://img/tutorial/2.png") } }, # ... } ########### # GETTERS # ########### static func get_title(type: Type) -> String: return CHALLENGES[type].get('title') static func get_description(type: Type) -> String: return CHALLENGES[type].get('description') static func get_image(type: Type) -> Texture: return CHALLENGES[type].get('nestedData').get('image') # another file: Image.texture = ChallengeData.get_image(ChallengeData.Type.IMPOSSIBLE)
