Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This series is a collection of best practices to help you work efficiently with
|
|
Godot.
|
|
|
|
Godot allows for a great amount of flexibility in how you structure a project's
|
|
codebase and break it down into scenes. Each approach has its pros and
|
|
cons, and they can be hard to weigh until you've worked with the engine for long enough.
|
|
|
|
There are always many ways to structure your code and solve specific programming
|
|
problems. It would be impossible to cover them all here.
|
|
|
|
That is why each article starts from a real-world problem. We will break down
|
|
each problem in fundamental questions, suggest solutions, analyze the pros and
|
|
cons of each option, and highlight the best course of action for the problem at hand.
|
|
|
|
You should start by reading :ref:`doc_what_are_godot_classes`. It explains how
|
|
Godot's nodes and scenes relate to classes and objects in other
|
|
Object-Oriented programming languages. It will help you make sense of the rest of the series.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The best practices in Godot rely on Object-Oriented design principles. We
|
|
use tools like the `single responsibility
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_responsibility_principle>`_ principle and
|
|
`encapsulation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulation_(computer_programming)>`_.
