· Install Godot, create projects, and use the visual editor
· Master the scene system, and organize games with Scene Trees
· Create 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and animations
· Use basic and advanced scripting to perform many game tasks
· Process player input from any source
· Control game flow, configurations, and resources
· Maximize realism with Godot’s physics and particle systems
· Make the most of 3D shaders, materials, lighting, and shadows
· Control effects and post-processing
· Build richer, more sophisticated game universes with viewports
· Develop networked games, from concepts to communication and input
· Export games to the devices you’ve targeted
· Integrate native code, third-party APIs, and engine extensions (bonus chapter)
Ariel Manzur is co-creator of Godot and is currently maintaining the open source project. George Marques is a full-stack developer at Open Journal Solutions.
