Something Different

Getting Going

Today is my birthday, so I'm doing something a little different! I want to add an easter egg to the game that only shows up today. So, I'm going to add a couple of little sprites to the main menu that only appear on February 13. Sounds simple, right? Well it's not! The issue I have is with the damned UI layout, I can never get things to look the way I want when it comes to these stupid containers. In the end, the issue was that I tried using Sprite2D instead of TextureRect nodes. Once I got that fixed, I was able to easily lay everything out the way I wanted.

Next Time

The actual code was pretty straightforward. There's a lot more I could do, but I don't care to right now. I have a simple container with three sprites that appear on Feb 13 and don't appear any other day. One day I'll animate them or something, but for now I'm happy with this. Maybe I'll use the rest of today to livestream some Hytale over on my YouTube channel. Next session I'll hopefully finally get crafting working. . .
