Godot 4.6: Adding "Juice", Audio, & Advanced Movement (Part 2)

Описание: Our game works, but it feels... flat. The fish move like robots, and the ocean is silent. Today, we're adding the "Juice".

In Part 2 of our "Depth Charge" series, we take our dry prototype and make it feel like a real game. We are going to use high school math (Sine Waves) to give our enemies organic movement, lock our player to the screen using clamp() , and build a dedicated, decoupled Audio Manager that listens to the chaos without cluttering our code.

We’ll cover:

Game Feel: Using clamp() to keep the player in bounds.

The Math: Using sin() to create natural, bobbing enemy movement.

The Architecture: Building a SignalBus driven Audio Manager.
