2D Platformer: Getting Started

If you are interested in collaborating on a 2D Game Project with the club, this is where to get started. We will be making a platformer using the Godot Game Engine and GitHub for collaboration.

Start by downloading the latest version of Godot here: https://godotengine.org/

You will need to create an account on https://github.com/

I also recommend that you download and install GitHub desktop from here: https://desktop.github.com/download/ and link to your GitHub account.

Once you have a GitHub account, you can email your username to nholtschulte [at] cnm [dot] edu, and he will give you privileges to access the code repository, which is available here: https://github.com/nealholt/CNM-CiC-2025-Godot/

Expect more blog posts to follow with tutorials and resources to add your own ideas to the project, but in the meantime (especially if you are new to game development), here is a beginner tutorial to help you get started (including a download guide for Godot):
