today i started a series of much more in-depth tutorials of how Godot functions. tomorrow, Saturday, is the last full day before the theme is announced and the clock starts running. i do feel like i'm getting a better idea of the fundamentals, but i'll definitely have to binge a larger part of this series. fortunately, these videos cover exactly what i would've tried to fuss around making myself these last few days, so i have some confidence that as long as i can find the time to watch them, i'll be starting on the right foot.
