|

#### 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
|
||||
**[Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org) is a feature-packed, cross-platform
|
||||
game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface.** It provides a
|
||||
comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games
|
||||
without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported in one click to a
|
||||
number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS,
|
||||
Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms
|
||||
(HTML5) and
|
||||
[consoles](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/platform/consoles.html).
