About The Project

Godot Style Screenshot 1

Built With

Version: Godot 4.1

  • A personal project to learn the powerful Godot Engine
  • Aiming at:
    • Beginners who want to follow a prevalent style guide to develop good practices
    • Beginners who want to learn more about Godot's Resource

More details

  1. It makes use of custom Resources, which helps to quickly create new SectionResources and ItemResources.

  2. It's very scuffed lol.

    • Items can only contain pictures (Texture2D) as a quick and easy alternative - because I haven't a clue how to implement markdown in Godot. As a result,

      • Updating contents frequently can be cumbersome.
      • Limited capabilities
      • Resizing the editor will not scale the pictures to maintain visibility -> Have to use scroll bars

    • Scuffed Markdown implementation (Converting to BBCode for RichTextLabel and custom Controls - using RegEx)

      • Most basic and widely used syntax
      • Lists (ordered and unordered) - prove difficult because lists in Markdown and BBCode are quite different
      • HTML tags - none yet

    • Lacking UI elements helping to add new contents - partly because I want users to interact with the provided custom resources

  3. The style guide provided (STYLE_GUIDE.md) is a simplified composition of parts of different materials.

  4. There are two script templates located in script_templates. To integrate them into your project or editor, please refer to Creating script templates.

Customization

  • You can add your own SectionResources and ItemResources - please refer to ADDING_YOUR_OWN.md
