A Skilluv starter — Godot 4.3+ / GDScript. Small 2D platformer with player, coins, HUD, and unit tests via GUT.

English

What this is

A minimal but complete Godot 4.3 project structured the way you'd start a real game:

• CharacterBody2D player with horizontal move + jump + gravity
• Area2D coins that emit a signal when collected
• CanvasLayer HUD listening to that signal via typed connections
• One scene assembled from three sub-scenes
• GUT test scaffold for headless unit tests
• Uses PlaceholderTexture2D so the game runs without any external assets

Quickstart

1. Install Godot 4.3 (Standard or C# — this starter is pure GDScript)
2. Open project.godot in the Godot editor
3. Press F5 (Run project)

Controls: A / D or arrows to move, Space to jump.
