Learn Godot by creating Pong 

Take this into consideration while following the tutorial in Godot4: 1. Kinematicbody2d is now characterbody2d 2. Move_and_slide() doesn´t work (because is build in or something), use move_and_collide() instead and change the speed to a smaller number 3. "Invalid get index 'normal' (on base: 'KinematicCollision2D)" to fix this change .normal to .get_normal() and the ball will bounce 4. .find_node() is not going to work, use .get_node() instead (also change the speed to a smaller number like 5)

This feels like it is premium like I paid $20 for it but it's actually free. You are amazing and your tutorials are extremely good. Keep it up!

Important Note: if you're using Godot 4 then you should now that Kinematicbody2d has been changed to Characterbody2d.

I wasted 4 hours for a pong before I came here. And you made it golden in only 2 hours. Such easy and clean within this short time. Hats off !!

This needs to be redone for Godot 4, I went through loops trying to figure out enemy ai!

This tutorial/course is so great. The explanations are so clean and also the visuals too. Almost everyone said it feels like a great Godot course and it really does. Pls make more Godot course-like tutorials like this, it really helps me to learn Godot and GDscript as a Beginner.

This video is amazing. I'm a Unity developer but having some trouble understanding Godot's workflow, this video explained it very well. Thanks again!

I just finished the course and WOW!! This has got to be the BEST way to learn godot 3. Thank you so much man. I almost quit game dev because I just couldn't learn but you actually made it simple enough to where I could understand and follow. I actually at one point tried a course that was from a real game dev teacher and I got to say, You LEGIT teach better than an actual SCHOOL TEACHER!! Thank you so much. You are the best!

The animations and the annotations on the screen really helps us to learn! Thanks for your effort!

46:00 You could set up one static body. Name it Walls, and add 2 collision shapes to it, naming them CollisionTop and CollisionBottom.

Thanks for the video. Love the clean and clarity aspect of it. 🥰

For anyone who is confused why only the opponent is making Score but the player is not. heres the solution to fix it. Hey, so the problem in the code is that only the opponent score is updated, not the player score. So even if the player scores a goal, the opponent would get the point. To fix it, just remove opponent_score += 1 from score_achieved() and add it to on_right_body_entered() and add player_score += 1 to on_left_body_entered() and then you should be good :)

You are the man who taught me Pygame, all for free with AMAZING quality. I would have had to learn Pygame and the basics of Godot for $50. Thank you for producing these amazing tutorials for free, keep it up!

Very high quality stuff! Glad i stumbled across this as im interested in both python and godot. Perfect!

Thank you so much I love the feeling of accomplishment. All of the other tutorials didn’t work but this one did!

This is an amazing tutorial. Very well explained and planned out. I will be sharing this with anyone that wants to start with Godot. Thank you!

Amazing tutorial , you did a lot of works and carefully explain simple

Thanks for this! The tutorial was very clear and concise and the visuals explaining some concepts were also great. Thanks for this video i sincerely appreciate it.

In godot 4+ the collision is func _physics_process(delta): var collision: KinematicCollision2D = move_and_collide(velocity * SPEED * delta) if collision: var reflect = collision.get_remainder().bounce(collision.get_normal()) velocity = velocity.bounce(collision.get_normal()) move_and_collide(reflect)

Thanks for the tutorial. I work if Godot for 2 years and i still learned a bunch of things that will help me so much! keep the great work :)

I've wasted so much time and money on GODOT tutorials that start off strong and then hit a huge off-putting snag halfway through. "CLEAR CODE" is a perfect name for your channel! As a game design instructor trying to curate the perfect tutorial playlists, I feel I've struck gold :) I'd be a big fan of your PYGAME tutorials too if it had an IDE with graphic layout editor and easy install like GODOT does.

Easing into godot, and the simplicity of this tutorial helped tremendously compared to other tutorials.

You explain everything so nicely!!!!!!! Keep it up!

Transitioning from using C# to GD Script and your Tutorials are awesome dude!

Thank you man for the tutorial! Really helped me out understanding godot better! I also had a lot of fun coding and your video is amazing! you teach really really well!

absolutely brilliant video that set a mark for how tutorials should be made thank you very much

man your explanations i just loved it !. keep the viedos coming and you will reach good number of subs for sure.

why is this dude so good at tutorials, not just this one, literally all of his tutorials are like this

It's a very good tutorial the editing is very good and you explained everything very well. Keep doing what you do.

This truly is clear and easy to understand, Thanks a lot!

Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing! Well explained and thorough. Much appreciated!

Thank you for such comprehensive lesson!

37:07 Amazing work with that! It was confusing for me to press down and go up

Loved the tutorial! Super Well made and easy to understand. I learned a lot, Thank you!

You're a good teacher, also you helped me to start developing in Godot.

I think that the coordinate system in game engines is like this, because if we analyze CRT TV, the cathode rays start from the upper left corner and sweep row by row from left to right, when a row ends it goes down a scanline below and repeats the process, when it reaches the end in the lower right corner, restarts. As the Atari 2600 worked directly with this, it seems natural to choose the coordinate origin in the upper left corner and the positive y axis downwards. In 1:07:11, this is modular aritmetic, basically the clock, 15 = 3 mod (12), 15 is 3 modulo 12, if you pick the number 15 and divides by 12, the remainder is 3. If you pick any integer number a -> a = n mod (2) -> n in {0, 1}, because if a is divisible by 2, your remainder is 0, otherwise is 1.

Another Godot tutorial! Thanks for the videos you are awesome bro!!!

Neat tutorial. Very well explained for a total gamedev newbie.

Hey, love your awesome tutorials, please keep it up!! :)

I was looking for a good Godot video and I found one! New sub man!

Amazing tutorial. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

So good I'm going to re-watch for a second time.

Keep up the good work man!, you earned my sincerest thumbs up

for people who got stuck on 39:00 min something due to move_and_slide() error, its because they changed it in godot4. now move_and_slide doesnt take any args but it does take velocity by default so you cant name your variable in the 6th line as velocity. just change it to something and remove args from move_and_slide(). dont forget to match the names in the if statement

I didn't know pong would be complicated enough to come back to beginner tutorials 3 months later and learn this much new stuff

Great tutorial, thank you so much! I learned so much.

I followed along with this on godot 4. A little frustrating but debugging from the version differences taught me a lot too.

dude, thank you very much. You helped me a lot. I have already subscribed to your channel and will see your other videos about Godot. Thank you again

Superb course! Thank you a lot! :D

Thank you! Great descriptive video!

Thanks you , for the tutorial is simple and well explained please continue doing tutorials

You are a Greater Teacher! Better than the most Godot Tutorial or in General! Have you more Videos like this? ☺️

Amazing tutorial!!! I like the part where you say "there are a couple ways to do this"

A very understandable tutorial.

The invertion of the Y axis is a feature that has been inherited in graphics programming from history. Back in the day computers used CRT monitors that paint the picture on the monitor from top left to bottom right (several technical reasons why that is the simplest way to go about it). Since then graphics libaries have been using this as a standard and still do till this day. Engine builders simplely inherit this since this is only a small inconvenience for the user (and will be complex to correct).

Excellency in teaching skill.

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

I really love this!

Thank you for the tutorial!

Better than ANYTHING on udemy. Thank you.

Awesome tutorial!

man i love your explanation

The origin of the coordinates being top left instead of bottom left in computer related stuff is usually attributed on the way display (used to ?) work. Where things are drawn on the screen from top left to bottom right. I know it was the case back in the 8bit era computer, do not know if it is still the case now. (then again I might be wrong) thank you for your work and a very nice and efficient tutorial.

Very nice, thx bro!

Hello everyone, if you are new here, make sure that you know this is not a Godot 4 tutorial, as this was made before it was released. But most of everything is the same except some of the code is different.

great course

Awesome. Thank you.

2 hours for a pong tutorial... Im in :D

Wow!!! Man I didn't know that there were bounce() and move_and_collide() available. Previously, I did the collision of a ball with vectors. It takes me a whole 2 days to get ball collision functionality. I wish I had seen the video earlier. 😅

thank you so much for this video

Nice tutorial :)

This course is great although I had some trouble earlier I fixed is am now an creating the ball

Insane Content for only 1730 Subs.

ok this is amazing thanks

Thanks for this tutorial!! it's been very helpful and easy to understand. I'm now trying to improve the game by adding some more stuff to it. I understand that the final detail of resetting the Player's position is an easy way to do and explain for beginners, but I'd like to know if there's a better way to avoid the Player from moving in the first place when it hits the ball at certain angles. Thanks again!!

For fixing the score issue, do the following: declare your score_achieved function with it accepting a variable and then pass an apporpriate variable if the player or opponent has scored. So: func score_achieved(assignScore): $Ball.position = Vector2(640,360) if assignScore == 1: OpponentScore += 1 else: PlayerScore += 1 Now all you to do is pass 1 or something else at your instance functions: func _on_Left_Goal_body_entered(body): score_achieved(0) func _on_Right_Goal_body_entered(body): score_achieved(1)

What a great video! Could you tell me what I should do if I want to increase the speed of the ball over time?

30 seconds in and already subbed

Thank you very much

Thanks a lot !!!!

very good thank you

Nice tutorial, just one thing you missed: The function score_archived has a bug. It will always trigger to update the score of the opponent, never the player since you refact it as it will only apply the score on OpponentScore :)

note for godot 4: velocity is an inbuilt variable, you dont need to define it

Really great video, I learned a lot! My only question is the custom font, when I opened the asset folder I didn't see anything for the font in there. edit: I decided to grab a custom font from Google Fonts, which is a great resource! Helped me learn by searching fonts out for myself

Man, this tutorial was perfect, in fact, it stops being a tutorial and becomes a complete Godot class, you gained a new subscriber, thank you

Great video! Note the custom font is not in the assets zip.

wonderful

Thanks ❤ from India🇮🇳

Bro it’s very intimidating! I’ve been slacking on it for a month now. The symbols are very confusing. You have to train your mind to

When I make my first 1$ from game making, I'm subbing to your patreon!

If anyone has a problem with the countdown label appearing every time you start the game, what I did is go to the CountdownLabel node in level and in the inspector go to visibility -> visible and turn that off so by default it is invisible

There's only one in my version not consistent with your version and that's pretty good for me (on the first/startup match there isn't a count down, it's a 1 and the ball starts going). Still, pretty good that I have a working pong game now. I'm going to see if I can convert it to Breakout (player paddle on x-axis) all on my own.

Love the tutorial man. I have a question. When I fullscreen my color rect, it kinda just disappears instead of covering the whole screen. Any idea of what I might've done to cause this issue?

This was fantastic. Thanks for creating the first thing that I ever made in Godot!

If you can't get ColorRect to work properly, I saw in another tutorial that you can just change the background color by going to Project Settings -> Rendering -> Environment -> Default Color

Conteúdo grosso😁👍

1:58:45 - I recommend using the ceiling function, ceil(), instead.

Thanks you

I have a problem at 1:08:09 when I put func _physics_process(delta): in the ouput says its an error. And when I play the scene it´s just black
