Posts about GDScript
Hello, fellow game developers and Godot enthusiasts!
I just wanted to share my recently published book, "Godot 4: Introduction to GDScript," which is now available on Amazon!
In this compact but comprehensive book, I take you on an immersive journey through the world of GDScript, the scripting language used in Godot 4. The material in this book is organized systematically, from how to install Godot to prototyping and creating a fully functional game. No prior experience in programming and game development is needed.
You may ask, why yet another book? The Godot community is super friendly and always happy to help, and a wealth of resources are available, including comprehensive documentation and numerous free online tutorials. Still, I think some people may find the book extremely useful. Some people learn better with a book, and some may find it helpful as a quick reference. Or imagine you need to travel somewhere far away. Grab a laptop and this book with you on the plane! No internet access is required (just don't forget to install Godot 4 before boarding). A few hours of fun coding is guaranteed with a simple but pretty fun and quite competitive game as the outcome.
You can pre-order the ebook, which will be released on the first day of summer. However, the paperback is already available for purchase. This means the book is already finished (yes, I saw a lot of unfinished low-quality books on Amazon).
Here's what you'll find inside:
An extensive introduction to GDScript for Godot 4.x with examples and tutorials: Discover the fundamentals of GDScript and grasp its syntax, variables, data types, control flow, functions, classes, and more. Build a strong foundation to unleash your creative potential.
Hands-on projects: Create a fully functional game from scratch with a step-by-step tutorial with clear code examples and illustrations. From basic scripts to advanced gameplay mechanics, you'll gain invaluable experience along the way.

If the link does not work, search "Godot 4: Introduction to GDScript" on Amazon.
If you have an Amazon Kindle subscription, the ebook will be available to you for free. Otherwise, it is still quite affordable, costing roughly the same as a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The cost of the paperback is higher due to the use of color printing.
I'm here to answer any questions about the book, so feel free to ask away! Happy coding and happy game development!
