More about Godot Engine
Godot Engine is cross-platform - projects can be created on many devices, and it is possible to port the finished game to almost any operating system. From Windows to Playstation Vita and Nintendo 3DS.
The engine works with three programming languages: in addition to the classic C and C ++, Godot uses a language of its own creation, GDScript. This language is based on Python and is designed only for game development - it simplifies code writing, and the process is optimized and tailored for game mastering.
There are two options for creating your own game:
- With VisualScript. The scripting system allows Godot Engine users to develop projects without knowledge of the basics of coding - the process of creating a game is focused on visual development. Thus, even a novice developer can create products without learning hours of programming principles. However, especially for beginners there is a huge number of training videos on the web - the Godot community is actively developing.
- Using an IDE. For advanced coders, there is an IDE-base and a code editor, allowing even experienced programmers to work effectively with the Godot Engine. Unfortunately, the engine supports few programming languages.
Thus, Godot Engine is a simple and easy-to-use game engine and editor that can be used even without knowledge of coding. It is convenient for beginners, but can also be used by experienced programmers: although you should not expect AAA-level products, Godot is definitely useful for novice developers because of its versatility and cross-platform.
