Day 6 — Shovel Functionality & Persistence

Context

Today was about getting the Shovel to meaningfully change the world.

Hole Digging

• The Shovel now digs and fills holes.

Persistence

• Tile changes now persist across player sessions.

Collision Fix

• A collision issue caused by unnecessary physics was resolved by disabling the physics flag.

Summary

What I accomplished:

• Implemented hole-digging mechanics.
• Added tile persistence.
• Fixed collision behavior.

What I learned:

• Physics flags can create hidden issues.
• Persistence systems need to be established early.
