Setting up the project
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this short first part, we'll set up and organize the project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Launch Godot and create a new project.
|
||
|
|

|

|
|
||
|
|
.. tabs::
|
||
|
|
.. tab:: GDScript
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download :download:`dodge_assets.zip <files/dodge_assets.zip>`.
|
||
|
|
The archive contains the images and sounds you'll be using
|
||
|
|
to make the game. Extract the archive and move the ``art/``
|
||
|
|
and ``fonts/`` directories to your project's directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. tab:: C#
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download :download:`dodge_assets.zip <files/dodge_assets.zip>`.
|
||
|
|
The archive contains the images and sounds you'll be using
|
||
|
|
to make the game. Extract the archive and move the ``art/``
|
||
|
|
and ``fonts/`` directories to your project's directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ensure that you have the required dependencies to use C# in Godot.
|
||
|
|
You need the .NET Core 3.1 SDK, and an editor such as VS Code.
|
||
|
|
See :ref:`doc_c_sharp_setup`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. tab:: GDNative C++
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download :download:`dodge_assets_with_gdnative.zip
|
||
|
|
<files/dodge_assets_with_gdnative.zip>`.
|
||
|
|
The archive contains the images and sounds you'll be using
|
||
|
|
to make the game. It also contains a starter GDNative project
|
||
|
|
including a ``SConstruct`` file, a ``dodge_the_creeps.gdnlib``
|
||
|
|
file, a ``player.gdns`` file, and an ``entry.cpp`` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ensure that you have the required dependencies to use GDNative C++.
|
||
|
|
You need a C++ compiler such as GCC or Clang or MSVC that supports C++14.
|
||
|
|
On Windows you can download Visual Studio 2019 and select the C++ workload.
|
||
|
|
You also need SCons to use the build system (the SConstruct file).
|
||
|
|
Then you need to `download the Godot C++ bindings <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-cpp>`_
|
||
|
|
and place them in your project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your project folder should look like this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This game is designed for portrait mode, so we need to adjust the size of the
|
||
|
|
game window. Click on *Project -> Project Settings* to open the project settings
|
||
|
|
window and in the left column, open the *Display -> Window* tab. There, set
|
||
|
|
"Width" to ``480`` and "Height" to ``720``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. image:: img/setting-project-width-and-height.png
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, scroll down to the bottom of the section and, under the "Stretch" options,
|
||
|
|
set ``Mode`` to "2d" and ``Aspect`` to "keep". This ensures that the game scales
|
||
|
|
consistently on different sized screens.

||

|
|
Organizing the project
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this project, we will make 3 independent scenes: ``Player``, ``Mob``, and
|
||
|
|
``HUD``, which we will combine into the game's ``Main`` scene.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a larger project, it might be useful to create folders to hold the various
|
||
|
|
scenes and their scripts, but for this relatively small game, you can save your
|
||
|
|
scenes and scripts in the project's root folder, identified by ``res://``. You
|
||
|
|
can see your project folders in the FileSystem dock in the lower left corner:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. image:: img/filesystem_dock.png
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the project in place, we're ready to design the player scene in the next lesson.
