Learning to code by making games is a great idea, yet things can get in your way. Some game engines are over–specialised, overcomplicated and can overwhelm new users. Furthermore C–family languages like C–sharp and C++ can be cumbersome.
It’s time to discover Godot, a general–purpose, simple and welcoming game engine. Powered by GDScript, a lightweight and easy to learn Python–like programming language, you’ll be up–to–speed with the fundamentals of coding in a jiffy.
Whether you re a complete beginner at writing code, an experienced developer wanting to explore this wonderful engine or a game designer who wants to embrace free and open–source software in your work, this course is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to learn a new programming language?
Absolutely, GDScript is based on Python – one of the most popular and productive coding languages in the world. As a beginner, this is a great place to start and experienced coders will find their coding improves with the perspective Python brings.
What if I don t like dynamically–typed languages like Python?

This is a great course! It is helping me alot.
Osman Guder –
Decent course overall but lets be honest. 2d section is really good except missing parts for 3.1, food fight 3d is also decent but not polished well enough. But kickabout section is complete disaster. I hated that section and it needs complete remake.
Billy C Earney –
Yes, seems like a good match.
Roberta Nagy –
Awesome course, the way Yann explained everything, made me understand both the game engine and gdscript alot easier. It answered all of my questions.
Franco Gonzalez –
Perfect video, very charismatic teacher too xD

Only half of this has been updated to Godot 3.1. You can get around most of the 3.0 content but I have run into a few times where I have had to really look around to see the change for 3.1. Also, looking in the Q&A you will see many questions that are unanswered from the content creators. If it is a question you have, you hope another student can help you instead of an instructor. I am about halfway through this course at the time of this writing, and I have learned a bit, but I feel the instructors could have been engaged with the community and kept this course up to date, which would have made this a great course. Now with the release of Godot 3.2 I wonder if this will even be updated to that release as 3.1 was never fully transitioned here.

Very good and easy to follow for a beginner like me with no prior coding knowledge.

El curso esta genial, cumple exactamente lo que anuncia. F cil y entretenido de seguir y perfecto para empezar con Godot. Quiz lo nico que no me gusta es que las lecciones est n divididas para dos tipos de versiones de forma alternativa. Creo que esto quedar a mejor agrupar ambas versiones seguidas para que no haya que interrumpir la lista de reproducci n para saltar la versi n que no se esta usando. Tambi n, siendo quisquilloso, no me gusta mucho la m sica de las intros de las lecciones. Es un poco molesta, aunque esto es algo personal. De todas formas nada de esto importa cuando el contenido es tan bueno. Totalmente recomendable.

I tried the Unity C# one and liked it, though I found Unity itself to be a little unintuitive. Godot, on the other hand, is much better and you guys do a great job of teaching it. Very glad to have found this course as well.

genial

This course is amazing for people who are new to gamemaking or coding or both. This course teaches Godot in a very easy to understand way. This course is also *the* ultimate course which means that this course teaches everything there is to learn about Godot
Amos Johnson –
I’ve taken the unity courses by these folks. When I saw that they made a course for Godot, I didn’t even hesitate. I found the course for me to learn Godot from. These guys are ALWAYS thorough and leave you with a solid understanding of how to use the program. Other tutorials walk you through building games, and you basically just copy what they do, and that’s about it. These instructors make you think, and explain what things are, and why/how they are using them. This isn’t just another class that somebody who knew how to use the engine threw together. This is an educational course. Simply great.
Christian Yoakum –
The course so far is great they go slow and teach you everything you need to know, which is great for a coding newbie like me.
Timothy –
I never coding before and want to make a video game. I have no idea what are these code mean. They put up an example easy to understand what it means. I love it so far!
David McKergan –
Yann is a very good teacher He’s very clear, and easily understood. I especially like the small items of humour he throws in. I’ve learnt quite a bit from this first video already. (Although I would disagree about ‘hash’ I would consider that we in the UK call it an Octothrope). Great course so far!
Christopher Wilson –
He breaks things down into digestible chunks. Good explanations, speaks clearly without monotone or ums.

Good match!
William Cox –
It covers a lot of basics
Sameer Darne –
I don t like it. I love it.
Nicholas Rohr –
Excellent course, well made and totally worth it.
Gustavo Fenilli –
For now it seens really good, the instructor understands a lot of godot and can actually pass the knowledge to the viewer fluently.
Dean Kim –
Great lectures on 2D. 3D stuffs need to be updated imho.
Niklas Unverricht –
Lots of fun
Andrea Romagnoli –
Yann is a great teacher! I really love his enthusiasm and the way he keeps you entertained even while teaching the most boring topics and complex content. I learned a lot during this course, I think this is one of the best courses I have ever had here on Udemy. Speaking about the content itself, I think that Godot is a beginner friendly engine, suitable for someone who is interested in game development, and this course is by far the most fun way to learn it. Thank you Yann, keep it up!
Nikita Kulachenkov –
Definitely the best course I ever seen. A lot of projects ( a lot of practice), simple but comprehensive explanations and the most lovely teacher. Thanks!
James Porter –
Yes it was a good match enjoyed it.
Markku Vuorenmaa –
Got back into it after a fairly long break. It was quite easy to continue where I left.
AndyB –
Enjoying the course so far. Easy to follow even for a non coder.
