godot

Scope

Covers Godot 4 application code and project configuration: the scene tree and node lifecycle, scene instancing and ownership, GDScript 2.0 and its static type system, signals and groups, _process versus _physics_process, the three rendering backends and how to choose between them, Control layout and theming, physics bodies with collision layers and masks, Resource design and .tres/.res files, export presets with headless command-line builds and CI, high-level multiplayer, and the differences a C# project hits relative to GDScript.

Targets Godot 4.7 as the default baseline, with rules gated back to the release that introduced them ((Godot 4.3+), (Godot 4.6+), (Godot 4.7)). Godot 3.x is a different engine — the renderer, TileMap, GDScript syntax and the signal API all changed — and is covered only as a source of migration traps.
