Hello,<br><br>My name is Ben and I have a YouTube channel where I teach people how to make games. I've recently started using Godot and I like it so much I decided to make some tutorial videos.<br><br>In this tutorial series you will learn how to create a basic "Breakout" or "Brick Break" game. It should be a good start for beginners.<br><br>After watching these videos you will be able to:<br>

Create and save a scene

Update basic project settings

Add a node to the scene

Use the basic physics bodies in Godot (Kinematic, Riged, Static)

Attach a sprite to a node

Use a CollisionPolygon or CollisionShape node to create a collision

Attach a script to a node

Make a node follow the mouse in the scene

Detect a collision between a RigedBody and a StaticBody

Free (Remove from scene) a StaticBody in a script

Control the bounce direction of the ball using a script

Instance a scene in the editor

Instance a scene in a script

Alter the text in a label using code

Export a variable to the editor

Create a getter and a setter for a variable

Wow!This is [b]super[/b] cool!(but next time make sure you put it in the appropriate tutorial subforum, in this case the subforum being 2D)

Hmmm, I thought I had. I tried to anyways. Next time I&#039;ll be more careful and make sure it gets in the right place. Thanks.

Kiori already pointed me to your tutorials in a pm, which is to say I was already aware of the tutorial. However! I&#039;m excited to have a chance to give kudos since you&#039;ve joined us here! Great work and keep it up(&#039;cause its appreciated). :)

Thanks for posting, keep the updates coming, and feel free to use the forum as a discussion hub for your videos.About this belonging in the 2D section, yes technically it does.But it depends on your long term goal. vinod777 for instance has one post with a series of tutorials. So if you plan on doing that it&#039;s not that bad to keep everything inside a single post and keep it here.(see his post for clarification)Actually further in that, and to avoid confusion I think I&#039;ll delete the subforums for the time being, until there is a real world reason to reinstate them back.Thanks to Elf_Ears for bringing this up.

Thanks.[/quote]Ah, I can shed some light on this mystery. When I approved the post, it [i]was[/i] in the 2D tutorial section.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how, but somehow when I approved it I must have also moved it by accident. My internet was being incredibly slow yesterday, and I did click &quot;Move Topic&quot; when I didn&#039;t mean to. Instead of cancelling the operation, I apparently moved the topic by accident.&nbsp; :-[ Sorry for the confusion! Great tutorials and thank you for sharing them!EDIT: Kiori, here&#039;s an idea, why don&#039;t we add Prefixes in so that people can post tutorials like this: [i][2D] Breakout Video Tutorials[/i]?

I&#039;m not establishing that as a rule to follow though, let&#039;s just leave it to others to decide if they wanna add it to their posts.People are free to create all sorts of prefixes as they please.

@uheartbeastIn that regard, feel free to remove the [2D] if you want.It&#039;s a nice idea from BO, but it&#039;s your final decision on how to name your posts so long as they comply with the Forum Rules and have a minimum of common sense. ;)

[quote author=uheartbeast link=topic=15493.msg16347#msg16347 date=1463758974]I just added part 3.[/quote]Thanks a bunch! About those dislikes you get, pay them no attention. Don&#039;t let people hold you back from expanding what you like to do. It benefits more people than those who would rather keep you in their bubble. Thanks for the tutorials; they really help.

Hey everyone, I really need your help.

So I've been following Ben's tutorial and I'm stuck in the end of the second video probably because of the different version of Godot. The ball still can't break the bricks, I added the code correctly, change the contact report to 1 and clicked on the contact monitoring then I created a group for each of the bricks from 0 to 9 (expect for the parent node2D) named Breaks but when I play the game, the bricks don't break...

It's really frustrating so I hope to hear from you soon! :)
