From your first node to a finished point-and-click adventure with Popochiu

If you have never opened Godot, or never written a line of code, start with For Absolute Beginners. If you already know the basics and want to make point-and-click adventures, go straight to A First Course. Both teach GDScript, Godot's own language, and both start from the very beginning.
