Godot 4.0 game engine

Godot 4.0 has been in beta for over two months, and the overall feature completeness, stability and usability have improved a lot during that time.

We initially had beta snapshots every other week, and now we've decided to accelerate the cadence to release a new snapshot every week, to get even faster feedback on our bugfixes, and the potential regressions they may introduce.

Note: some of the above is an extract from their e-newsletter update. Please see website for full details.

I can update the laptop at Code Club / STEM group to include the godot software, running apt search godot at home game me:

apt search godot

This is still version 3, as version 4 is clearly still in testing.

You will need to learn c# or c++ or another language in order to write games, we Do have a book on c++ at the stem group.

For other support there is an IRC channel at #godotengine this is part of the Libera.chat network, there is a web interface link in the top right corner of the website.
