imagine being so good at gd script that you teach the whole language by using gd script

I love getting the fuller explanations for writing code. Too many tutorials flash over the basics that the teacher forgets the student doesn't understand very well. This is a good idea, back to 'grass routes' approach.

As a further addition I really would like to see for Godot is more detail about coding specifics. Common questions that Beginners ask: Area2D, when should you use it? How do you communicate/access nodes in GDScript? What are the different methods to move an object/sprite. Which type of Input is best to use for keyboard etc? So much is assumed in tutorials and I'd love to know why something is done, even if that whole video is about that one thing.

The online Godot manual is very hard to read and doesn't give enough information. It also feels as if it's written for someone who is already a programmer, not someone who is just learning and dabbling in Godot.

So, any help with coding in Godot is much appreciated, thanks!

I would like to thank you sincerely for making this tutorial. It is one of the best tutorials I have watched about programming. I have been trying to dive into game making for about a decade now and always got stuck at the beginning phase where everyone assumes that you know all the basics. You gave me a powerful push in the right direction. I will look forward to your other tutorials. Any community benefits from a guy like you. Peace out.

As someone who's not a coder, but has done some coding using Python in the past, this tutorial has been absolutely invaluable for me!

Thanks very much for taking the time to make it, great work.

Best GD Script introduction. Cant wait for the next part.

I have watched quite a few tutorials and this one is by far the easiest to understand. It was a bit fast but that’s ok because it can be paused. Other videos left me discouraged midway. This video instructor really makes programming feel within my reach.

This is the best explanation and presentation of programming I have ever seen! Thanks for all of your hard work and attention to detail! This is super high quality stuff!

I just realised you've done the whole presentation in Godot! Love it! Thank you btw. Learning a lot

To browse built-in classes and access their reference or documentation, use 'Shift+F1'. The default key is now this, previously it was may be 'F4'.

I love the way you present the information! Having these interactive slides (idk what else to call them) is extremely helpful for me because I can just pause the video and see everything important (but not too much) at once. You´re a Legend!

[erivida]

As someone who knew absolutely nothing about coding, this was a lot to take in, but boy are you informative! I'm actually understanding this and it makes me optimistic about my future, thank you and great work!!!!♡

[jaded]

a couple months ago i found this video and was completely confused at what he was talking about. it all came off as so complex and confusing, but here i am a few months later and this is all just common sense to me. i'm not even all that great of a coder yet, but i feel like i'm making progress. and that makes me happy.

[rustypaperplate]

thank you so much. I have been looking for a tutorial for gdscript that doesn't skim over the basics for a while and no one seems to get that people who click on videos with beginner in the title, are probably beginners. you are the only one who has actually explained things well. keep up the good work!

[tkeleth]

out of several dozen tutorial videos I've watched on OOP, why is this the only one that gives an actually useful description of how to think about classes???

[GameArts]

Thank for this tutorial! I am going to try my hands on Godot w/o having any programming skills. You channel has multiple tutorials and with this one i can at-least understand a bit of what the text is about, so this gives my brain a lot more ease to comprehend what's going on - so I subbed.

How can anyone dislike a video like this? Either you work for Unity, for Epic Games or you're a bot that dislikes random videos on youtube for some weird reason. This is a really excellent introduction to GDScript, I'm a beginner and this has helped me with some concepts that weren't clear enough. The best is that this video is pretty universal I think, you can transfer the core concepts to other languages (js, python, c#, etc.). Keep up the good work!

[ApexJnr]

This is actually so clear in terms of an exmaple of programming that it blows my mind how i've seen nothing exactly the same before, like imma just show people this video in the future it's great thank you!
