I’m a absolute newbie in Godot Engine and don’t know much, but I’m already trying to make a small clicker. I need points to be accrued even if the application is closed. is it possible?

Your game can’t do anything if it’s not running…I assume you want the points to accrue based on time passed?

In that case, I’d recommend you do something like:

  • Upon exit of your game, store the current system timestamp
  • Upon start of your game, retrieve that stored timestamp
  • By comparing that stored timestamp with the current timestamp, you can calculate how much time has passed since the game was previously closed.
  • Based on that, accrue the points as necessary.
