Are you a Godot Engine enthusiast, game developer, or aspiring game creator looking for a comprehensive and offline documentation for Godot? Look no further! We are excited to introduce the Godot Docs App, a native Android app that provides you with the entire Godot Engine documentation at your fingertips.
Why the Godot Docs App?
As Godot Engine’s official documentation continues to grow in size and complexity, accessing it in traditional formats can become challenging. Here’s why the Godot Docs App was created to address these issues:
EPUB Size Limitation
Godot Engine offers an EPUB version of its documentation. However, as the documentation expanded, the EPUB file grew so large that it exceeded the handling capacity of most (if not, all) EPUB readers.
HTML Copy Limitations
The official Godot Documentations provides a zip file containing all the docs as static HTML files. This extracted zip file is not well-suited for mobile browsing. On Android browsers, the styling and navigations break, making the user experience less than ideal.
Outdated DevDocs.io Version
While DevDocs.io offers an offline download option via IndexedDB, its Godot 3.5 version is ancient and hasn’t seen updates in a while. As a result, users are left with incomplete and outdated information.
More Than Just Class Reference
While there is an existing Godot Class Reference app on the Play Store, it offers only a portion of the documentation. The Godot Docs App, on the other hand, provides the entire documentation, covering all aspects of Godot Engine.
Your Comprehensive Offline Documentation Solution
With the Godot Docs App, you can enjoy a seamless and user-friendly offline documentation experience:
Complete Offline Access
The app contains the entire Godot Engine documentation, carefully compiled and optimized for offline access. No need to rely on an internet connection to access valuable resources and tutorials.
Optimized Download Size
To ensure a smooth download and installation process, we’ve compressed the documentation from around 1.6GB to a compact 300MB. This allows you to save bandwidth while retaining all the essential information.
Regular Updates
Our team is committed to maintaining the Godot Docs App up to date with the latest documentation. Expect regular updates every month or every two weeks, so you always have access to the latest resources.
