Nodon Tier List for Game Builder Garage

[@colin3ds1]

Idea: gamebuilder nuzlocke challenge You can only use each nodon one time and you have to program a functional game Some adjustments can be made like You can use the object nodon 3 times Once for a box Once for a sphere and once for a cylinder And different types of fancy objects may or may not count

In all honesty, each Nodon has its own strengths and weaknesses and their usefulness greatly depends on the game and situation but I guess you could theoretically rank them by how versatile and generally useful they are. Idk I guess I'll just have to wait and see how you do this.

[@fawfulthegreat64]

Idk, I think End Game nodon is a valid thing to use. If I'm curious about the code of a level or want to replay it, it's literally a matter of clicking the level again. Mario Maker doesn't instantly restart levels when you win. You could do a sort of menu on beating it, "Press A to restart the level or B to exit." But man I think they seriously dropped the ball on the field of view nodon. Field of view is exactly the property I need to change with a flag for my Super Paper Mario recreation. IE having no depth in 2D mode, but depth in 3D mode. But they decided it should have no connections, no way to actually send a value to it.

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

I got this game this Christmas and I enjoy it a ton. Would update when I use each nodon for my opinions on the placements

[@mememan24002]

Timer would probably be low B or high C

[@nonexistor]

+- Inversion Nodon should be ranked up to A. You can use two of them connected to each other to make it completely useless, so you can run a connection through that to make a Nodon's output link to its input. Camera Position mixed with Camera Target can make a nice security camera feel.

[@loupandsnoop]

You could also just use a + calculator for that.

The end game nodon can be properly used when you have a game split into multiple parts (seperate games)

"the hand nodon is (HAND)y" was that pun intended?

[@skiethefolf8247]

I personally disagree with the IR emitter being in the F tier. what you can do with it is use a reflective surface (I.E. reflective tape) to shine it back to the Joycon, so you can theoretically make Labo cardboard creations with GBG.

[@loupandsnoop]

....No. IR emitter cannot detect anything, even with a labo reflector. You need an IR motion camera to do that. IR emitter also shuts off the IR camera for the joycon using it. And an IR motion camera can ALSO shine an IR light simultaneously, to detect reflector stickers. IR emitter has only one use, and that use is to shine at a second right joycon (which has an IR motion camera active). You should check out my guide on IR camera to learn more, but IR emitter is definitely F tier.

Flag nodon are good things for flashlights

[@Pipro8049]

Why did you put angle ➡️ position over position ➡️ angle? I use position ➡️ angle more than angle ➡️ position!

[@loupandsnoop]

Angle to position gives sine and cosine, which is important for anything involving circles or trigonometry. Position to angle is used for arcsine and arccosine. This is used primarily for working with control stick-to-angle input, or more niche applications. Circular paths/regions/leashes alone are just a very common use case in GBG.

[@samiabed2206]

4:24 I'm gonna put the hand nodon in b tier because he's 'handy'

[@loony2unes]

strong disagree on Trig From 0, he is necessary in command inputs, I'd say B tier easy.

[@loupandsnoop]

Maybe C, but definitely not B. Trigger from 0's main value is with timers (with zero lag + timed output) to set something on a cooldown. While this is nice, it is uncommon, as several cooldown mechanisms will be just fine without trigger from zero. Trigger from zero is definitely not as generically useful as marker, comparison, teleport, or signal inversion.

[@blueducky1]

Unsurprisingly, I think the IR sensors aren't going to rank very high. While the technology is unique, the data you can read is too simple and unstable to use for anything else than a fancy gimmick.

[@PikKraken8]

Do you think you could make a video explaining how to utilize trigger from zero nodon or digitize nodon? I want to make a game with nes Metroid style screen scrolling and I do not know how.

[@loupandsnoop]

Not really. Both nodons are pretty straightforward (just checking the nodopedia), but you may need to find someone with more experience making grid systems to help you out. Sorry.

[@PikKraken8]

@@loupandsnoop It’s alright, I will just mess around with them till I figure out uses and methods

@@PikKraken8 Sure. Keep in mind it's been done before. I'm sure you can look up some levels that work on grids on MyGarage for inspiration.

Continuous Marker Display is F tier, no contest.

[@fancygames64]

Definitely agree really only useful in situations where you’re either using 2d marker display’s bullseye output or making a game inside the create screen.

I would like to use power ups in my game but it’s easier to just have all the ability’s from start like Mario games. 3D enemy ai to make something act normal until they see the player seems quite hard to program that is why using google makes it easier. well if you do it on your own you might use 20 nodons but the simple way used 8.

Swap game nodon should be S. It's the only way to make a really long game.

[@loupandsnoop]

But most games aren't really long. Therefore B tier.

[@loupandsnoop]

@MrSquareKirbyGd Tier placement is based on general versatility and usefulness. You can't put something into S tier because it is very good in a specific set of circumstances. S tier = great for basically every game. Most games will not use swap game nodon, and therefore it can't be S tier. Swap game is just not as necessary of a nodon as Constant, Camera, or Button nodon. You will struggle to make a game without those S tier nodons, but you will be okay without a Swap Game nodon.

[@loupandsnoop]

@MrSquareKirbyGd It's a fact that I get to define the criteria for each tier because it's MY tier list. It's opinion whether or not you think something fits those criteria. You can disagree with how I chose those criteria, which is valid. But you aren't explaining how Swap Game nodon satisfies the requirements of my S tier.
