How to create digital pet in godot without prior any coding experience

Godot Version

Godot 4.0

Question

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

I’m completely new to game development and just getting started with Godot. I don’t have any coding experience yet, but I’m really excited to learn!

I want to create a simple digital pet that:
• Sits on my desktop/taskbar
• Can move left and right on its own
• Maybe has some basic idle animations

I’m not sure where to start — especially without coding knowledge.

Can anyone guide me on:
• Whether this is possible in Godot?
• What features or nodes I should learn first?
• Any beginner-friendly tutorials or plugins for something like this?

I’d really appreciate any advice, resources, or starting points :folded_hands:

Thanks in advance!

func _ready() -> void:
    print("hello world")
