Week 5
The sword
Part of The Hero's Village.
Swing the sword. By the end, the hero can attack, and the swing visibly affects the world.
Being finalized. This course is being finalized and polished before it opens on Outschool in August 2026. The outline below is the plan for what your learner will build, and a few details may still change as I add the finishing touches.

What this class covers
- An attack animation
- The hero gets a sword-swing animation, so attacking looks and feels deliberate.
- Hitting things
- The swing reaches out in the direction the hero faces and connects with objects in front of it.
- A world that reacts
- Swinging the sword does something you can see: it chops grass, smashes pots, and makes a training dummy flash when hit.
Optional Customizations
Just-for-fun customizations to try on your own between classes. Never needed to keep up.
- Add a row of breakable objects.
- Make the training dummy flash and reset.
- Adjust how far the sword reaches.
