learn-gdscript VS godot-space-invaders

When I see someone wanting to start out and knowing nothing at all I do not point them at the 20 games challenge. I first point them at something like this: GDquest GDscript for total beginners . It at least attempts to teach some absolute basics as well as abstracting/hiding away useless and confusing framework you really don't want to be occupied with when learning from zero. But it's also guilty of assuming knowledge in some areas. That is sadly unavoidable. It also teaches almost nothing about object oriented design. (Something that should be looked up if you're working in an engine that has this as it's central design philosophy)

You can use this to learn GDScript https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/

Do you have any experience with programming? If not, you may want to start here https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/

If you have never done basic fundamental programming you can begin with https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/ , while this still hasn't been updated to Godot 4.0, it is universal enough not to be a problem.

Here's the comment where I break down how I tackled this one step by step. You can read the comments in the shader code to see where I implemented some of these steps. I hope it gives some insight into things. A lot of it took constant tinkering to get right, and some numbers look entirely fabricated out of imagination land, but that's what it comes down to is how to get it just right. Multiplying something by 0.01 and 0.001 creates a drastically different effect, for example!
