Godot 4 Patterns Reference

Domain knowledge for Godot 4 + GDScript development. Five reference files provide detailed guidance:

Scene Architecture — composition, signals, dependency injection, scene unique nodes, groups

GDScript Quality — member ordering, naming conventions, typing rules, state machines, patterns

Resource System — res:// paths, .uid files, Resource sharing pitfalls, .duplicate(), loading patterns

Timing & Async — signal emission timing, await races, queue_free() safety, call_deferred(), autoload order

Export & Builds — export presets, dynamic load tracking, platform gotchas, .uid consistency

Core Principles (Quick Reference)

Composition over inheritance. Assemble entities from single-purpose child nodes. Limit scene inheritance to one layer.

"Call down, signal up." Parents call children's methods. Children emit signals. Siblings communicate through shared parent.

Resources hold data; Nodes hold behavior. Custom Resource classes for item definitions, stat blocks, configs. Nodes only where scene-tree integration is needed.

Static typing is mandatory. Every variable, parameter, and return type must be typed. Typed GDScript runs 28-59% faster.

Performance is architectural. set_process(false) on off-screen objects, process_mode = DISABLED for subtrees, Server APIs for high-count entities.
