Godot

Godot is a [[game engine]] that can be used with [[C#]] or [[GDScript]]. Its design philosophy is structured around [[Scene (Godot)|Scenes]], [[Node|Nodes]] and [[Tree|Trees]]. With a heavy influence of [[Object Oriented Programming|OOP]], these building blocks of the engine can be thought of as [[Class|Classes]] with inheritance. There are a variety of built-in methods and constants that can be used to influence the entire game itself as well.
