Of course, don’t forget that you can get the demo scene and all the assets for this example on my Github 🚀 with all my other Godot tutorials :)
🔶 Also, the UI assets are from Kenney’s library, and the spell icons are by Felipe Geborge.
The tutorial is also available as a video — text version is below:

Oh and by the way: if you’re still a bit new to Godot 4 and C# game dev, go ahead and check out my brand new “short-read” ebook: L’Almanach: Getting Started!
This quick, practical guide will have you explore the fundamentals, and it will teach you how to setup…
