Paint FPS Project

Paint FPS is a free prototype built with Cursor in Godot 4: a first-person “paint gun” blockout in the spirit of old-school corridor shooters, with flat, vector-like materials.  I wanted to try to build a game using AI coding and this was a fun excuse to see how the process actually works while learning along the way.

How to play

• Move and look with WASD + mouse; Space to jump.
• Left click fires paint projectiles and tags paintable surfaces.
• 1 / 2 / 3 switch your paint between red, yellow, and blue (a fourth slot exists for future use). R clears your splats. Esc pauses.

Color combat 

• Yellow beats Blue · Blue beats Red · Red beats Yellow
• Matching colors = neutral damage; strong match = more hurt; bad match = tickle-tier damage. Enemies will chase or flee based on the matchup.

Audio 

• Shots use simple note mapping by color.
• Opening the Level 1 exit uses a triad chord; Level 2 puzzle completion and Level 3’s R Y B R Y B crown sequence have chord feedback.
• Hit sounds are short staccato ticks scaled to weak / normal / strong hits.

Three level scaffolds

1. Ground floor — Castle Shield mural (three panes, targets R / Y / B). When solved, the door opens; walk into the exit to load Level 2.
2. Grand gallery — Compass rose (four segments: R, Y, B, R by direction). Finishing it spawns a miniboss that fires slow, dodgeable paint orbs. Defeat it & reach the exit for Level 3.
3.  Crown wall (R Y B R Y B in order), a shifting boss, and a Game Clear label on boss defeat.

Debug / testing (optional)

• P — freeze / unfreeze enemy movement.
• H — toggle enemy HP bars for tuning fights.
• Puzzle panes show small target-color hints.

What to expect (honest label)

• Prototype / work in progress — blockout art, no story pass, no final characters.
• Windows and Linux builds; performance and input should be solid on a normal PC or Deck-class Linux box.
• Feel free to comment, but this is just a toy for fun.
