Introduction
Solana Godot SDK is a free and open-source plugin for Godot game engine, which makes it very easy to add Solana web3 intergrations into your Web Browser game and even develop fully on-chain games!
Why Godot?
Godot game engine is fully open-source as well, resulting in booming popularity and developer tooling over the past couple years. It is an especially popular choice for an engine among teens and students who are just starting out their game development journey because of how easy it is to learn and quickly prototype both 2D and 3D games.
Additionally, due to GDScript being an interpreted language and Godot using glb/gltf as the main 3D model standard, working with blockchain data and NFTs is very easy and intuitive.
