Out of Hearts

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 35 of 36.

When the last heart is gone, the game is over. Test for zero right after hiding the heart:

if health == 0:
	$HUD/Message.text = "Game Over"
	get_tree().paused = true

The hero and the guard are Pausable, so they freeze. Main is Always, so its _process keeps running. It starts a new game when the player presses Enter:

func _process(delta):
	if get_tree().paused and Input.is_action_just_pressed("action"):
		get_tree().paused = false
		get_tree().reload_current_scene()

Reloading resets everything: three hearts, the key on the floor and the door locked.

Challenge

Medium

End the game when the hearts run out.

When health reaches 0, show Game Over in $HUD/Message and pause the game.
While paused, Enter (action) unpauses and reloads the scene.

Press Play and lose three hearts: Game Over shows. Enter starts again. Then Check.
