Godot 4 3D Platformer Lesson #5: Coding 101 (Part 2)

In this Godot 4 Lesson I finish off this 2-part 'intro to coding' lesson for absolute beginners to programming (or gd script) in Godot 4. In this lesson I cover topics: Conditional If Statements, Else, and Boolean Expressions, Boolean variables, Writing Functions (that have parameters and accept arguments, and return data), and Objects, Inheritance, and Godot's official GDScript documentation. By the end of this lesson we'll also program our game's Sprite3D to rotate in either direction by pressing the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.

Thanks for watching! Here are the video chapter timecode links:

- 0:22 - If Statements, Else, and Boolean Expressions
- 17:16 - Writing Functions
- 28:20 - Objects, Inheritance, & Documentation

These videos aren't coming out fast enough boss! I love your content!

[artemail]

just wanna say, this is my third attempt to learn to code from a youtube tutorial, and yours is the one im sticking with. You explain everything really well and I appreciate how you're giving us the tools to figure things out on our own in the future. Thanks a lot friend

[TheSkypeConverser]

I skipped tf thru this but so much respect for literally explaining python/Gdscript/code to mainstream audience. Awesome vids

[christian-schubert]

They say that everything used to be better in the old days. Well, in the old days, you would have had to spend a considerable amount of money for a course this thought out and well crafted.

Also, you can think of the PARAMETERS of a function as the placeholders (in this case 'x' and 'y') whereas the ARGUMENTS are the values you actually pass into it (in this case '5' and '6')

Can't wait for the next episode to come out. You've helped me from having no idea what's going on with godot to understanding all the basic concept to set me up for future project where I can make more original code!

Although I have experience with programming, I love all these step-by-step explanations, which can help people with no experience at all help jumpstart their game dev journey! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next episode and being able to play the finished product!

Just wanna say your explanation of Boolean values is excellent, I've tried learning how to code multiple times, and the explanation for Boolean values always confused me to the point where shortly after I would give up. You have managed to actually make me understand how they work, makes me want to start learning python and other languages again, thank you BornCG!

edit: fixing spelling

[clovisimerovingian]

Thank you so much for these lessons! For someone who never made a 3D game, they're really helpful so far. Can't wait for the next video!
Minor tip for 35:29: You can close the documents by right clicking and selecting 'Close Docs'

[AngusJMcGregor]

these can't come out fast enough! love the stuff. any chance you'd allow someone to assist you in editing to get them out faster?

[SootytheMagicalBear]

Excellent video, I've been stuck for the last 3 or 4 weeks and watching this, going over the basics again is very beneficial, and the way you talk, and explain things I find easy to follow and understand. You are a great teacher from what I have seen so far.

[ashokksaharan]

waiting for next. thankyou for these 🥰 i learned blender from you now godot again thankyou sir 🙏🙏🙌

[eveningdreamermusic]

excellent video & series. looking forward to the next one!

[daverowe]

This is an excellent tutorial series. Thank you so much. You are a very good teacher.

[coffeemugftw]

The end part showing the documentation was so helpful!

[WiLDbEAsTGameSHere]

This helped me so much, thankyou for the content i will be applying it to start creating a game right away

[joshbonney]

How many lessons do you expect in this series? Great content.

[afirstlovelost]

These videos have been so helpful. I will have to watch part 1 & 2 a few times I'm sure. I have this mental block when it comes to understanding all this code. I guess I just need to keep practicing.

wise words

[ChapC_YT]

Although I am already miles ahead in understanding the fundamentals, it is so satisfying to go through all the basics.

[bodegamer]

thank you so much for the tut. I think im done today tho because ive watched five of the tuts and it took up like halve my day and im tired but these are amazing! thank you!

[ShawnLanphear]

5/11 haha, I really enjoyed the brief explanation of documentation and how to access it. I love that Godot makes it so easy to view its pre-built functions.
