Thank you for your review! 😊

Good idea regarding the timer! Adding a timer (or your score continuously decreasing) would make it more challenging! I don’t think that would fit into 500 characters, but it should be doable with 550 or so.

I’ll take a look into it once the jam is over!

Thank you for your feedback! 😄

I think the idea of making the target smaller over time is really good, so I refactored the code a little, and now it fits into 500 characters too!

extends Node
var n=RigidBody2D.new()
var v=Vector2(20,20)
var r="position"
var w=0:
 set(a):w=a;t.text="%s"%w
var t=Label.new()
func f(a,b=self):b.add_child(a)
func u(p=v,n=Area2D.new(),c=CollisionShape2D.new(),s=Tree.new()):c.shape=CircleShape2D.new();n[r]=p;s.size=v;f(c,n);f(s,n);n.body_entered.connect(func (j,b=600):n.scale*=.9;n.position=Vector2(randi()%b,randi()%b);w+=8);f(n)
func _init():n.gravity_scale=0;u(v,n);u();f(t)
func _input(e):if e.is_pressed():n.apply_force((e[r]-n[r])*9);w-=1

Thank you for your feedback! 😄

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊

Indeed, it seems golfing GDscript is possible, if a little more difficult considering the verbosity of the language. You know you are going to have a hard time when just the names required to initialize an object take up almost 10% of your character budget (CollisionShape2D, CircleShape2D, RigidBody2D). 😃

Vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! Es freut mich, dass dir mein Spiel gefallen hat! 😄

Thank you for your comment 😄

It was quite difficult to get it down to this many characters. Gdscript is not really made for keeping things short, but I leaned on the strengths of the engine (physics and UI), while letting the code string things together.

That is some high praise! Thank you very much! 😊

I was experimenting around with some golfing for GDScript, and of all my experiments this one was most fun, so I decided to submit it! I also made a flappy bird clone, but that one felt a little shallow, plus I did not have enough characters to add a score to it.

Thank you 😄

Thank you very much 🙂

Thank you 😊
