Requires the Godot Engine installed, check out the branch matching your engine version for compatibility.
Godot Demo Projects is a collection of demonstration and template projects built for the Godot Engine, a free and open-source tool for making 2D and 3D games. Each folder in this repository contains a ready-to-open project that shows off what the engine can do, from basic game mechanics to more complex scenes. The collection is organized by Godot version. The main branch works with the latest development version of Godot 4. There are also branches for Godot 3 and older numbered releases like 2.1, so if you use a specific version of the engine, you can check out the matching branch and know the demos will work correctly. Getting the demos onto your computer is straightforward. You download or clone the repository, point the Godot project manager to the folder using its built-in Scan button, and all the projects load at once. You can also try most of them directly in a web browser through GitHub Pages without installing anything, though the experience is a bit slower compared to running them natively on a desktop. For anyone learning Godot or exploring what it can do, this repository works as a practical reference. Rather than reading documentation in isolation, you can open a working project, look at how things are connected, and modify pieces to see what changes. The demos cover a range of topics, so you can find examples relevant to the kind of game or application you want to build. All projects in the collection are released under the MIT license, meaning you can use, copy, and modify them freely, including in your own projects.
