Introduction to Godot 4: From Zero to Platformer

Welcome to the Veigatec Godot 4 Kickstart Series! 🚀

Game development is often portrayed as a dark art, full of complex math and arcane code. We’re here to demystify that. In this series, we’ll take you from absolute beginner, someone who has never written a single line of code, to a confident developer capable of building a complete, physics-based 2D platformer from scratch.

What You’ll Build

By the end of this course, you will have created a fully functional game featuring:

• Responsive Controls: Including advanced techniques like “Coyote Time.”
• Physics-Based World: Slopes, walls, and solid platforms.
• Interactions: Collectible coins and score systems.
• Hazards: Spike traps and level restart logic.
