GodotEngine

When we develop a game, especially a big one, sometimes it may often happen that we can never find the scene which we want to edit or we cannot remember where the script file is, which we are going to edit. In this article, I am going to introduce some so powerful and useful search features with keyboard shortcuts. Once you know those, you can reduce the huge amount of time looking for something which may be the most uninteresting in the game development. In addition, you can use the search features in a much faster way instead of looking for a script file and clicking it in the file system dock, for example. By the way, we can see all default shortcuts in the official online documents of Godot. Be careful about that it says Alt as Option on macOS.

What’s Godot? Godot Engine, or simply Godot, is a very popular open-source game engine that is now gaining popularity, especially in the indie game industry. A game engine is a reliable tool that handles all the complicated tasks for game developers by providing them with a system that is commonly needed in game development from the beginning so that they can concentrate on game development. For example, “displaying characters on the screen,” “sound effects sound when buttons are pressed and the screen changes,” “shining light on 3D objects and drawing shadows,” and “causing damage when a beam of light hits an enemy,” etc., are all common game development tasks that would be difficult if created from scratch. The game engine takes care of these processes for us. In this article, I will explain the first step to start using Godot, which is to download it (very easy). Godot is multi-platform. The files are available for almost all computers with major operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux) installed. Let’s get started with the download process.
