Godot 4.4

So, Im transitioning from scratch to Godot and I would like to know what game I should do to start off my coding journey? Any suggestions?

I would recommend “Dodge the Creeps” it covers a lot of nodes in the engine.

I did this one when starting out and it helped a lot. Another thing you can do and it will not require much effort is to shoot bullets when clicking.

So basically, you need to create a bullet scene (class) and then instantiate it when clicking. Nice exercise to get started. If I remember correctly I think there are tuts on how to do this in Youtube.

I would also recommend to read a bit the GDScript syntax, built in classes and methods. The Godot node types are abundant, for me it took a long time to learn most of them. I say “most” because I’m still learning. So be patient with that, it will become easier as you go.
