Introduction
This article/tip and the demo are about getting started with GoDot Game Engine and using the godot_open_star_fighter game project template as starting point.
Background
There are no CodeProject articles about GoDot Game Engine projects, so I started to create this article.

Using the GoDot Game Engine
Here is a Quick Overview
•	First we need the Godot 4 for Windows version as shown in [1] Download Godot 4 for Windows (we use the .Net version)
•	Extract and run. Godot is self-contained and does not require installation.
•	From GitHub [2] thelastflapjack / godot_open_star_fighter we use this project as template for our project.
•	Info taken from [2] – About: A simple star fighter pilot game intended to be a starting point for the creation of other games.
