G0dot without Coding works?

Can i make a game without coding in Godot if yes then please share the tutorial links

No.

york You can do everything you need with GDScript which is pretty easy.

If you think that's hard, go try Blueprints in Unreal Engine and then you'll understand why Tim Sweeney has been donating money toward GDSCript development because he wants it in UE6.

DaveTheCoder Thanks for your However, I am not skilled in coding, which is why I decided to switch from Godot. I hope that in the future, Godot will introduce a feature similar to visual scripting.

vexymous

try taking a look at visual scripting.
This is a playlist:

vexymous try taking a look at visual scripting.

That's still programming tho. There is no 'generate a game automagically' button.

DaveTheCoder

Visual Scripting is still coding.

And it's been removed in Godot 4.

vexymous

DaveTheCoder i think the word would be "programing", but never "coding"

vexymous

Megalomaniak oh wow? It's clear enough for me that no body mentioned anything about programing or generate game button

DaveTheCoder

I used the word "coding" because that's the word used by the initial poster. In this context, I don't think there's any difference between "programming" and "coding".

vexymous

DaveTheCoder well i do, since i already assumed that he is aware that there is no "generate game button" and that he should put some effort into it (but not necessarily coding) due to him asking such a question and not where is the "generate game button at guys", that's where my "recommendation" for visual scripting got driven from

Semantics aside, even with node-based scripting you need to think as if you were coding. In fact, using visual scripting is much more cumbersome than typing code, and it only gets worse as the project complexity increases. So no reason not to learn the "real thing" . The fact that they decided to cancel Godot's node based scripting only confirms this.

The gist is, if you want to build games in any non-trivial capacity, you'll need to learn to think like a programmer. In other words you'll need to learn coding. There's no way around it.

vexymous

xyz the argument here is not wether godot's node-based programing is good enough or better then regular code-based programing, form what I've read he is trying to know if there a way to make a game without coding(text-based programing) and i don't think he ever mentioned his incapabilities to program or code in the matter of fact, and no programing requires programing knowledge(problem solving, logic building, etc...), unlike coding requires both programing and the coding language familiarity(ecosystem, syntax, etc...), So no there no middle answer here that satisfies everyone

vexymous Selecting and connecting boxes is coding too. It just uses different kind of code, and curiously, it doesn't absolve you from typing stuff in. But again, this code/program distinction is just semantics. I think we all know what the op meant, from the way the question is formulated 😉

Can I paint my house with a toothbrush? If I ask this on a house painter forum, what kind of answer do you think I'll get? Will it be "Sure, totally possible, as long as you dip it into paint." Or will people who know something about house painting rightfully pull me from my misguided intentions; "No. Use properly sized brushes and rollers."

That said, walls in my flat could actually use a fresh paint job 😃

vexymous

xyz Yeah, another compromisation technique

xyz

I'd genuinely be interested in hearing from the op if Godot's visual scripting meets their criteria of "without coding", and if yes, then seeing the game they made with it.

vexymous

xyz don't know why there is no sad reacts, dang it🥲

Perhaps I missed something, but I didn't see where visual programming is labelled as "without coding".

This is its main purpose:

Programmers working in a team that want to make part of the game logic available to Artists or Game Designers in order to offload some of their work.

There is certainly a great deal of slyness in the reasons for rejection:

According to our most recent poll (with more than 5000 respondents), only 0.5% of the user base has used VisualScript as their main engine language.

Visual programming, by definition, cannot be the main engine language. It is precisely an aid to fine-tuning game parameters.

Godot has a very huge problem right now. Creating games is a fusion between programming and artistry. Godot leans towards the convenience of programmers — their comfort is a priority. Artists are much more difficult. As an example, it was the shader window that was made floating, not the animation editor, which is more important for artists.

According to this concept, visual programming really seems insignificant.

As a consequence, there are no games with outstanding graphics on Godot, and therefore one should not worry about excessive realism in games using Godot.

GodotBeginnerRich idiot, you're just trying to make me look bad.

I'm starting to feel like I'm on Russian sites.

At the risk of drawing the ire of the Mods for mentioning the "competition", Scratch may be exactly what the OP needs.

GodotBeginnerRich lol ?

vexymous I was trying to help the OP, idiot, you're just trying to make me look bad.

ADMIN EDIT: This is totally rude and uncalled for. You've been warned.

vexymous don't know why there is no sad reacts, dang it

All tears have been shed over the lack of visual programming in another thread.

Visual programming in Godot made it easier to change the code, but not to create it. It was intended for those in the development team who are not very good at programming — artists, screenwriters. So that they could modify the code that was already ready. But creating this code, was a bit more difficult than writing in a programming language.

vexymous

Tomcat don't need it, I'm god level programmer who used to make android debuggers from scratch to just hack some games

vexymous

GodotBeginnerRich woah ? Chill buddy, the guy asked about a method for godot no scratch, if you're trying to joke around there is no need to start calling people idiots
