Hello World

When you first launch Godot, you will be face to face with the Project Manager.

Lets create a new project.

Name this project "Hello World". Then assign a project path and click create.

Next you should see the editor's interface with the 3d viewport active. At the top in the center, you can switch from the 3d to the 2d viewport.

Select the 2d viewport.

At the far left of the editor you will see the Scene dock.

Click the + Other Node button.

In the search bar, type "label" then click the Create button at the bottom.

On the right side of the editor we have the Inspector dock. In the text field type "Hello World".

Then up in the top right corner you will see some play controls. Click the Run Current Scene button.

A new screen pops up asking you to save the scene. Click the Save button.

After the scene is saved, your scene will run.

Congratulations! We did it! And now you are fully qualified to begin work on the next Legend of Zelda game.
