Programming for Game Design, A Hands-On Guide with Godot, Wang W., Walcott T., 2024.
    
   This book will make programming fun by teaching video game design in an accessible, fun, and interesting step-by-step manner. When you finish this book, you’ll be well on your way to creating more sophisticated programs and more complex video games. This book can help open the doors to the fun and excitement of programming and video game development. After this book, the entire world of programming and video game development will be open to you no matter what programming language or game engine you choose next.




Creating and Opening a Godot Project.
When you use a word processor, you create an empty document that you can fill with words that you can rearrange and format to change its appearance. Likewise, when you use a game engine like Godot, you create a bare-bones video game that you can fill with graphics and audio that you can rearrange and modify to change their appearance.

Before you can use Godot, you must first know how to create a Godot project. Every Godot project must be stored in a folder. To avoid mixing Godot files with any existing files, it’s best to create a new, empty folder to hold your Godot project.
