Godot Game Development Leveraging Kotlin

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Live demo shows the actual workflow: download the godot-kotlin-jvm custom Godot build plus its jar, set JAVA_HOME and Java 11, generate a Gradle project using the plugin that produces glue code, build to run scripts. Kotlin features used include typed register signals, lambdas connected to signals, coroutines to load and await resources and signals, and smart casts for interfaces. JVM libraries (kotlinx‑datetime) and a packaged chat SDK are added as Gradle deps and integrated via .gdj registration files, and a GraalVM native image path enables iOS execution.
