What this class covers
- An attack animation
- The hero gets a sword-swing animation, so attacking looks and feels deliberate.
- Hitting things
- The swing reaches out in the direction the hero faces and connects with objects in front of it.
- A world that reacts
- Swinging the sword does something you can see: it chops grass, smashes pots, and makes a training dummy flash when hit.
Bonus challenges
Optional, just-for-fun challenges to try on your own between classes. Never needed to keep up.
- Add a row of breakable objects.
- Make the training dummy flash and reset.
- Adjust how far the sword reaches.
