Hi everyone. I am trying to learn GD Script but am finding the reference manual lacking in information and practical examples - Would anyone know of a good place to find code examples of GD Script. What are peoples preferred sites for learning GD Script? Thanks!
There are a few common recommendations to answer this question. They mainly boil down to whether you’re a beginner at programming entirely, or you’re just new to GDScript. If the latter, GDScript shouldn’t take you more than an hour or so to fully understand if you have any proficiency with Python/Javascript/Lua/other-dynamic-language.
If you are completely new to programming, here are some paths to take:
Learn Python first. There are huge amounts of learning resources out there, because it’s a very widely used language. Godot’s syntax is so similar to Python’s that it’s going to feel almost like writing the same language.
Go through the docs. The step-by-step section includes a beginner project where you create a full game. The GDScript in there has been written to be as clear as possible for beginners. Step by step — Godot Engine (latest) documentation in English
