Build game with Godot Engine - Part 1

Godot is a free and opensource game engine which provides powerful support for 2D and 3D games. I recently start working with this framework to create my own game. This series is the note of the learning I made during building by game. I currently use Godot 3.0.

Build the most basic 2D application

Godot application is built as a collection of scenes. To build and run a game, we must create at least one scene. We can go to Scene > New Scene to create a scene. A scene can be a resource or an entire level of the game. Here, the new scene we create will be our game main scene.

A scene is built using a collection of Nodes. We can click on + button on Scene panel to add new Node:

For root node, you can choose Node option in the creation options.

Now you can play your game with Cmd + B, or the |> button on the shortcut menu:

Now the game is built successfully and appear. Even though we cannot play it yet, we’ve succeeded in creating our first game with Godot!
