Godot Engine
Godot Engine is an open-source game engine.
Installation
Install the godot package, or godot-gitAUR for the development version.
Legacy versions
To use version 3 of the engine, install the godot3AUR package.
To use version 2 of the engine, install the godot2AUR package.
Mono version
If you want to use C# as a scripting language, install the mono version godot-mono-binAUR or godot-mono-gitAUR.
Export templates
To be able to export your project, you will need prebuilt binaries. If using the Git version, you will need to compile them yourself as described separately for each platform on the wiki or use godot-export-templates-gitAUR. If you are using the stable version, you can install the export templates provided by Godot. Install them by clicking on the engine settings icon in the top right corner, and then press "Install export templates" and provide the downloaded templates.
Troubleshooting
UI freezes in Wayland
Godot runs on Wayland using Xwayland, which causes a variety of UI issues, when not running in single window mode. [1] To get around this, start Godot with godot --single-window
, then open a project, and enable single window mode in the editor settings.
This issue has been resolved in Godot 4.1.1. [2]
