Godot is an open-source program for Windows designed that provides various development tools for creating games without having to build libraries yourself. It enables you to create both simple and complex projects.

User interface

The application is launched in both a graphical and a console window form. The latter keeps track of all internal steps taken by the engine and cannot be closed without closing the entire utility. However, it is possible to set it aside by minimizing the window to the taskbar.

The graphical user interface consists of the project manager, where you can create projects from scratch or explore different online templates maintained by the community. For example, you have the ability to download and install a basic Minesweeper game to learn the mechanics behind it, alternatively, you may get interested in a copy of Flappy Bird.

Principle of operation

Godot relies on an intuitive programming language. In order to learn the code, you are able to view the documentation on the developer’s website with scenes, nodes, scripts, animations and other resources. In addition, you can view a tutorial for recreating the classic Pong game.

Explore files and import models

When it comes to the workspace, you can explore all project files, script and asset library, switch between 3D and 3D view, as well as make additional changes to the code via the corresponding editor. It is also necessary to note that you have the option to import models from third-party utilities Blender or Autodesk 3ds Max.
