The Language

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's GDScript journey. Lesson 1 of 92.

GDScript is the programming language of the Godot game engine. Its syntax is close to Python: blocks of code are marked by indentation instead of curly braces.

You can use GDScript to learn programming from the ground up, and the same code runs inside real Godot games.
