# How to Ask for Help on YeetGeese

When prompting an AI about this project, include:
1. **Godot version:** "Godot 4.x" (use GDScript 4 syntax: typed signals, `@onready`, match/enums)
2. **Node context:** e.g., "`TowerBase.gd` extending `Node2D` with a child `ProjectileSpawner` Marker2D"
3. **Goal + constraint:** "Make fire rate scale with tower level without hardcoding values."

## Coding Conventions We Follow
- Prefer `Resource`-backed stats over exported hardcoded numbers where balance changes are expected.
- Use named signals: `signal damage_dealt(amount: int)`, `signal mob_killed(currency_reward: int)`
- Keep scenes small; compose behavior across nodes rather than one 1000-line script.
- Always type variables and return values in GDScript 4 style.

## Prompt Templates That Work Well
- "Write a GDScript 4 `find_target()` that picks the enemy furthest along its path from this tower, using `_get_enemies_in_range() -> Array[EnemyMob]`."
- "Refactor this hardcoded fire rate into a `TowerStats.res` Resource and show how the tower reads it on spawn."
- "Implement a placement preview cursor that snaps to a grid and turns red where `_can_build_at()` returns false."

## What I Expect From You (AI)
- Return complete, runnable GDScript 4 with comments explaining node setup.
- Flag any Godot 3 vs 4 API differences (e.g., `move_and_slide()` behavior, signal typing).
- If a request needs multiple scenes, describe the scene hierarchy before showing code.
