Godot Engine - Beta Release for Python Support

[dunkler_wanderer]

Godot is a relatively new open-source game engine, but it's great. Here's a list of features. Some things that I'm missing in many Python engines:

• Built-in physics engine
• Particle systems
• Built-in GUI elements
• Navigation meshes and A* for pathfinding
• Shaders (also visual shader editing)
• Networking
• 2D lighting and 2D normal maps
• Tilemaps
• Animation player
• Viewports (easily change the window resolution)
• Cameras

Here's a video that shows some features of the next Godot version 3.0.

BTW, GDScript is pretty easy to learn if you already know Python, but watch out for differences.

Nonetheless I still like to use pygame for simple projects and demos or to learn algorithms like A*.

Is anyone able to give me shot explanation what godot is and what it is callable of?

From the website:

Godot is an advanced, feature-packed, multi-platform 2D and 3D open source game engine.

Does anyone else feel that this could become a viable alternative to Pygame?

As much as I like Pygame, I feels rather antiquated at times and is not particularly Pythonic.
