Gameplay Mechanisms 🦀🎮

• Time & Day:

  • A constant DAY_LENGTH := 60 seconds defines a full in-game day
  • Time is tracked using time_passed += delta
  • Hours are derived using: var new_hour := int(time_passed / SECONDS_PER_HOUR)
  • When current_hour >= 24, the day automatically ends via end_day()

• Crab Spawning:

  • Crab customers are spawned dynamically using: func spawn_crab() through and animation player
  • Each crab instance randomly selects a texture from crab_textures []
  • Special crabs are selected using weighted randomness: var crab_event = [0,0,0,0,0,0,1]

• Order Generation:

  • Crab orders are generated using a dictionary based on what the player has unlocked:
    • var current_order = {"shape": "","color": "","stars": -1,"bow": -1,"barnacle": -1}
  • Orders are randomly generated with weighted pools for customization options based on the day

• Earning Pearls

  • currency variables stored in the global script through: daily_pearls, pearls_earned, shells_sold
  • Each order has a base reward per correct order with increased payout for special events or extra decorations : bonus += 2 * selected_stars, bonus += 3 * selected_barnacle, bonus += 5 if bow correct This creates a layered reward multiplier system.

• Streaks

  • A global streak counter tracks consecutive successful orders: Global.streak += 1
  • Resets on failure

• Achievements

  • A state based unlockable animation stored in a global dictionary: ex.Global.achievements["flawless_day"]
  • Each achievement contains:
    • name
    • description
    • reward
    • unlocked state
  • Triggered by gameplay conditions
