Game Development for Kids with Godot Engine - Get Screen Size using GDScript

In this post, we will take a look at How to Get Screen Size using GDScript in Godot Engine.

Now let's get back to the GDScript and build something substantial. Let's create some of the shapes on the screen using the GDScript. And for those who have any idea of the C# and the Python, you'd find this tutorial pretty interesting.

GDscript can let you do many interesting things and make the most out of the shapes that you build purely out of the code. Like say you want to create a game where the custom shape particle effect is there for some action. You can use a tutorial like this for getting screen size and adjusting your effects according to the screen.

In this post, we will take a look at how to get the screen size. This is handy when you want to turn your code into the one which adjusts when you are doing the size resize for your game in the android and the PC. Something like that would be what you should consider with your current code.

This is the 13th tutorial on how to use the GDScript to get the current size of the screen. So if you are not much aware of the godot engine and it's an initial set of tutorials that I have covered, you may want to take a look at that here. I have listed the table of contents below with the previous set of tutorials that you can try out before taking this tutorial.
