4.3 Godot Version
I’m just starting out with absolutely zero understanding of anything Godot can do or, any vocabulary in the game making scene.
I’m watching tutorials and multiple people have said that I should work toward using “Documentation” to create as I go, and to only watch tutorials when i don’t know a concept entirely. I don’t understand what Documentation means in this context, and could use a breakdown of the concept.
Did you try a search engine first? That’s usually my first stop when I don’t know something other people recommend.
The docs for Godot are here. They describe what you can do with the engine and how to use it. It’s not a tutorial, but they include one.

I Did search it first and I was just getting Design docs, like what you would do to pre plan parts of a game. I could not find whatever Docs were for Godot itself.
Thank you though!
May I ask how you searched? If I just type in “Godot Documentation” in Google, the first two links already are the docs in question.
Godot Manual is what you need. That is the Documentation. ‘Godot Engine Manual’ in your search engine.
Documentation is usually that thing a judge reads when condemning someone.
“Software documentation is written text or illustration that accompanies computer software or is embedded in the source code. The documentation either explains how the software operates or how to use it, and may mean different things to people in different roles.”
Quoted from Software documentation - Wikipedia
bro, someone is coming to Godot with literally no prior experience, probably never having done any programming or used any complicated software that required documentation or anything. They clearly said the concept of documentation is new to them, there is absolutely no need to act like such an ass. If you don’t have the patience to help people at this stage, then you have the option to be doing literally anything else with your time.
I was replying to megamodels, who replied in a misleading way (“Documentation is usually that thing a judge reads when condemning someone”, implying that Documentation is the wrong word to use here). I think I’m helping a lot, and also I’m not being an ass.
