i got nothing done today because i got caught up on this: (im using godot)

func _on_area_2d_area_entered(_area):
if Input.is_action_pressed("space"):
print(counter)

the "if input action pressed" simply isn't working, anyone know why?

i got the assets done yesterday and today I did the eight-way movement, NPC pathfinding + press space to chomp
also the code needed for the main mechanic is hard so I took a break

(i didn’t check my email yesterday lol so im a little late)
my idea is a super cute fish that attracts people but it can morph into this super big shark and eat people but you have to charm them first or else you’re caught
day 2- art + figure out timers plus variables
