GAS Based Action RPG

Exploring What GAS has to offer

No surprise, it's a GORGEOUS framework

This project was my first foray into the GAS framework -- and my first truly comprehensive game framework. Needless to say, it still blows my mind, especially coming from a "do it all yourself from scratch" mindset.

The modularity for input, UI, character actions, enemy actions, etc all just "make sense" compared to anything I had done before or attempted to create on my own. Getting more insight into the C++ side of things was insightful, and I feel waaaay  more comfortable navigating a codebase now, BUT the most valuable aspect for me has been the impact GAS has on my systems thinking.

After learning the overall sturcutre of GAS through this project, "How can I make this feature scalable and modular for future cases?" has become a common question in my mind. So common in fact that I've had to dial it back (I later learned this is common for new programmers -- YAGNI). Regardless, training my brain to expand these systems (and subsequently reign them in) has been a "game changing" habit.
