2. How to use Godot’s editor.

• Add 2D lights to your levels.
• Create bumpers to jump high.
• Add slope support.
• Use UI themes to improve the look of your interface.

It only costs 15$ and comes with questions and answers. The videos are cut into bite-sized lessons to help you learn at your pace, DRM-free downloadable content, and a 60-day refund warranty.
