YES, in the right hands, these compiled languages are superior, but that comes at a cost! They are more complex to use, as you need to learn how to compile and link them into Godot. Often, they have a preconceived idea that they must use C#, Python or some other programming language. There are a lot of new programmers who ask what is the FASTEST language to use. I can be found participating in many forums, continually defending GDScript as a great solution for developing in Godot Engine. You might not have that requirement! If you don't, please don't become another victim of chasing the BEST way to do something or the MOST optimal way.

I don't suffer, but understand how somebody inflicted with OCD feels and thinks.Īs a professional developer, I always have the obligation of ensuring someone else can pick-up my code and work with it. I often find myself writing code three or four times, refining it until it meets a balance between the two important needs of Understanding and Performance. If you are never going to change or maintain the code, move on! If you do have a need, tidy and clean until you can then move on. The ONLY advice I can truly give is that DELIVERING is the most important need in programming.ĭevelop code and see if it works! If it works, then great! Then go back and check whether you can read and understand it. Others have stalled in their quest, looking for the RIGHT solution. Many programmers have gone mad, purely in the hunt for the BEST solution for a particular need.

Code optimised for a highly efficient algorithm can often suffer from ease of understanding, therefore requires more comments, etc.

Simplicity of code, allowing it to be easily understood, can often lose performance traits (not always, but often).

These will always have trade-offs, for example: Great programmers and academics have studied for years, gathering and learn patterns that best fit certain needs. The beauty and appeal of programming, for me, is that it provides an endless diversity for new solutions to be learnt or invented. There will always be an alternative way to develop an algorithm, a routine or an implementation! I'll explain more about this, towards the end of the tutorial.Ī good programmer will always explain to a learner that there is NEVER one single, pure/best/true way to program an entire game or solution.

You must have installed Godot Engine v3.0.Īll the code from this tutorial will be provided in a GitHub repository.

Add Invader instances by Game Scene Script.

Gain a little insight into the programming mindset.

You've completed the previous tutorial to move your first sprite and that you now understand how Scenes & Nodes are constructed and how to add Script.

My hope is that seeing how easy this is to do will inspire you to build great games in Godot Engine! Assumptions My intention is to demonstrate how simple and easy it is to create a 'Space Invaders' clone in Godot. I will now move on to using scripts to create many Sprites on the screen. This tutorial builds from the last which explained how to move your first Sprite!. learn how to create lots of Sprites! What Will I Learn?
