godot-genre-idle-clicker — Claude Code skill for Godot clickers

What godot-genre-idle-clicker does

The skill lays down rules for idle games in Godot: how income is counted, how numbers survive past float range, and how to keep a phone battery alive. It ships GDScript components. big_number.gd stores a mantissa and exponent so the economy does not crash into INF at 1e308. generator.gd computes cost as Cost = BasePrice * pow(GrowthFactor, OwnedCount), and scientific_notation_formatter.gd renders K/M/B/T suffixes.

Offline progress runs on UNIX time through offline_progress_calculator.gd. Use Time.get_ticks_msec() instead and the counter resets on app restart, so the player loses what was earned — worth checking before release. Long catch-up periods go through threaded_catchup_simulator.gd on WorkerThreadPool, while idle_performance_setup.gd turns on low_processor_usage_mode and pushes UI updates through signals rather than every frame.

The skill does not re-explain these systems in prose; it points you at the scripts. Decision tables cover when to reach for BigNumber, the formatter, or the cost-curve validator. From there the chain continues into godot-gdscript-mastery, godot-save-load-systems and godot-monte-carlo-balancer.
