Godot Engine

aid: godot
name: Godot Engine
description: 'Godot Engine is a free and open-source community-driven 2D and 3D game engine released under the MIT License
  and stewarded by the Godot Foundation. Godot ships an integrated editor plus a deep scripting and extension surface across
  three primary languages: GDScript (Godot''s own typed scripting language), C# (via .NET 8 / Mono in the .NET build), and
  C++ (via GDExtension, the modern successor to GDNative, which lets native shared libraries register their own classes against
  the same API the built-in classes use). The engine API is documented per-class at docs.godotengine.org. In addition, the
  Godot Asset Library at godotengine.org/asset-library/api exposes a public REST API used by the in-editor AssetLib browser
  to list, search, fetch, and download community plugins, templates, tools, and demos. The Godot project source lives at github.com/godotengine/godot.'

  name: Godot GDScript API
  description: GDScript is Godot's first-class scripting language, a high-level dynamically typed (and gradually statically
    typed) language with Python-like syntax and tight integration with the engine, the editor, and the scene tree. The same
    engine class API documented at docs.godotengine.org is exposed to GDScript callers and runs inside the engine rather than
    as a REST surface.

  name: Godot C# / .NET Bindings
  description: Godot's .NET build ships C# bindings over the engine API, letting developers write game logic and editor tooling
    in C# against the same class library that GDScript and C++ see. C# support targets .NET 8 and is delivered in the dedicated
    "Godot Engine - .NET" build.

  name: Godot GDExtension (C++ Bindings)
  description: GDExtension is Godot 4's mechanism for binding native C++ (or any language with a C ABI) into the engine without
    recompiling Godot itself. GDExtension libraries register their own classes against the engine API and behave like first-class
    engine classes. The official godot-cpp binding repo provides the C++ API headers.

  name: Godot Editor Plugin API
  description: Godot's editor can be extended in-place with EditorPlugin scripts that add docks, inspector plugins, import
    plugins, export plugins, gizmos, and custom tool windows. Editor plugins use the same engine class API exposed through
    GDScript, C#, or GDExtension.

  name: Godot Asset Library API
  description: The Godot Asset Library REST API powers the community asset browser inside the Godot editor (AssetLib tab)
    and the website at godotengine.org/asset-library. It exposes endpoints to search and filter assets by category, support
    level, Godot version, license, and keyword, retrieve asset metadata and download URLs, and submit or update assets when
    authenticated. The library source and API definition live in the godot-asset-library repository.
