Check out the wiki for more info on how to use everything in this repo!

About

A base structure for 2D games using Godot 4.

It aims to include everything needed to create a polished 2D game, from movement scripts to screen postprocessing shaders, while leveraging the new features of Godot 4 and using a clean, scalable and extensible code architecture.
