Godot Engine — Open-Source Game Engine

Overview

Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine for 2D and 3D games, released under the MIT license with no royalties. Games are trees of nodes saved as reusable scenes, scripted in GDScript (a Python-like language) or C#, with built-in physics, animation, UI and a shader language. One editor binary is also the command-line tool: it imports assets, checks and runs scripts headless, and exports to desktop, mobile and web.

Everything here targets Godot 4. Godot 3 code does not parse in Godot 4 (export var became @export var, yield became await, KinematicBody2D became CharacterBody2D).

Instructions

Scene and Node System

# Godot's architecture: everything is a node in a tree
# Scenes = reusable node trees (like prefabs)
# Player.gd — attached to a CharacterBody2D node
