How Do I add stuff to my game when I have no idea where to begin.
Working on my first game in a real engine (Godot). It's very basic, where you play as a square dodging balls that bounce around on screen. I wanted to add a variation of the ball, and I have it spawning, but I just don't know where to start with changing behavior. I want to make it target the player and move to their position after bouncing off the wall, but I have no idea how. The temptation to ask AI grows every day, and I struggle to write a single line. I'm not asking for someone to solve this for me; I just want to know how to approach a problem like this. I don't know if I can paste code, but the way I wrote the original ball is causing a significant issue; it bounces aimlessly without considering position at all, so I don't know how to target the player.
This is definitely a lack of knowledge issue. How do I deal with this?
So far, all I've learned is that you never know how complex pong is until you try to make it.
