Code your first complete 3D game with godot

In this final lesson in the course, you’ll code a 3D game from start to finish in Godot.

It builds upon the 2D game you created in the previous lesson, which will help you see the similitudes and differences when coding 2D and 3D games in Godot.

We changed the mechanics to keep the game fresh, though.

You will learn to:

1. Use kinematic bodies to move characters and detect collisions.
2. Code a jump and squash mechanic.
3. Use areas as hurt boxes, causing the player to die when an enemy touches it on the ground.
4. Use code to spawn enemies around the screen randomly, in 3D.
5. Animate 3D models using Godot’s built-in animation editor.

You’ll learn to spawn random monsters, jump and squash mechanics, animation, and more.
