Making a Settings Menu

The following is part of a bi-weekly update we would be required to do as we worked on our final projects. Some things may require context that is not included or some original post content may be excluded.


Last week I didn't really have the time to get too much done, but with the time I had I was able to work more on my settings menu.

A chunk of my time was creating the UI for the settings menu, but I did manage to add a little bit of functionality for some of the settings you can change.

I was also researching how to save user settings so that the settings are persistent even if you leave the game. I wasn't able to begin coding the actual saving of values, but I did start on preparing for it. The ConfigFile class is a built-in class in Godot for handling INI-style files so I'll be using it to store user settings.

Again, not a lot to show for this check-in, but as I've mentioned I would like to finish coding the settings menu this week and hopefully get some sounds in the game so I can actually test the audio settings.
