Godot Tutorial 2D

My version of the Godot 2D tutorial, following along from scratch.

Requirements

I set out to follow the tutorial with some slight deviations, to learn about Godot and see if it meets my requirements - which are:

• C# for scripting
  • Proper async usage
  • Familiar framework (common .NET methods and libraries)
• Able to structure the project in a .NET solution of my own design
• Easy to pick-up from a programmer background
• Support for desktop, mobile, and web publishing
• Linux-first development
  • Tight integration with JetBrains Rider

Findings

Godot looks like it will be a great project for me to use as it meets most of my requirements, perhaps even for more than just games.

I found that in the C# version, there are many custom methods and classes that are similar-but-not the same as some of the ones built into .NET - but these didn't feel too alien to me, they were similar to what you would find in any other .NET library. It looked tricky, but I also think I may be able to do dependency injection, too.

One limitation I found that does not meet my requirements is that when using C# and Godot 4(.2), I am not able to publish to the web - version 3 does not have this limitation, however I don't want to begin as a new Godot user with the previous version. This appears to be a limitation of .NET at the moment, but is on the radar and intends to be supported as soon as possible by the team: godotengine/godot#70796
