Summary

There we go! Throughout Part 1 of the book, we learned how to program and we topped it off with some extra tips on becoming a good programmer during this chapter. Remember, no tips in this chapter are chiseled in stone or enforced by the engine. So, you can break them where needed. But they are here for your own good and many programmers have adopted them as daily practices.

In the next chapter, which is also at the beginning of the next part of the book, we will finally start working on our game! I hope you are as excited as I am!

Vanhove

Vanhove

Sander Vanhove has been creating games with the Godot Game Engine for over five years, releasing over 20 games on multiple platforms. However, his interest in games started long before that, taking him from engine to engine before finally settling. This enthusiasm, along with his master's in computer science, gave him a broad knowledge of programming and AI, which he now applies in his day job as a lead game developer and technical artist of a studio that uses the Godot Engine. You can always find him working on that next project, learning new game development techniques, or trying to teach people how to use Godot.
