GDGen

Version: 1.0-alpha

An advanced, configurable code generator which aims to automate some aspects of Godot Engine development, namely:

• creating C++ modules;
• creating GDNative plugins.

Currently only C++ module generation is supported, so most of the functionallity is revolving around modules.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Git (optional)

Compatibility

• Godot Engine 3.0+ (C++ modules generation)

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/Xrayez/gdgen

Usage

gdgen [-n NAME] [-s INTERNAL_NAME] [-c CONFIG_PATH] [-o OUTPUT_PATH]

Examples

For most use cases, you can use a simple wizard. Here's an example output:

$ ~/src/godot/modules> gdgen

Module name: My awesome module
Internal module name (snake_case): my_module
Author name (default - You): Me

You can also create your own configuration file:

gdgen -c tests/configs/sample.json -o ~/src/godot/modules/

Use default config file, but fill the required fields manually:

gdgen -n MyModule -s my_module
