When Container::queue_sort() is called, pending_sort is set to true to indicate when a call to _sort_children() is queued, to avoid queueing multiple calls. Container::_sort_children() sets pending_sort back to false when finished, but did not do this when the container was not inside the tree. This would allow cases where queue_sort() could be called just before removing from the tree, causing _sort_children() to never reset pending_sort, preventing any future queue_sort() calls from queueing again. One case where this happened was with the "Saving Scene" progress bar in the editor - when saving for the first time (or the first time the progress bar popup otherwise appeared in the editor), _sort_children() would be called successfully. After the progress bar popup was hidden, then shown again on future saves, _sort_children() would not be called again, resulting in the progress bar not taking up as much space as it should. This issue used to be avoided by setting pending_sort to false immediately on NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE - however, this would allow multiple calls to be queued at the same time when entering the tree (#92644). The multiple calls was fixed recently by removing this assignment, but this also made possible the case where pending_sort is never reset. This change sets pending_sort back to false in _sort_children() whether or not it's in the tree. Since this is done in a deferred call, it should still avoid the previous issue of multiple calls being queued at once on entering the tree. Fixes #92971
Godot Engine
2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
Godot Engine 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 with 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 and consoles.
Free, open source and community-driven
Godot is completely free and open source under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. It is supported by the Godot Foundation not-for-profit.
Before being open sourced in February 2014, Godot had been developed by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur (both still maintaining the project) for several years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
Getting the engine
Binary downloads
Official binaries for the Godot editor and the export templates can be found on the Godot website.
Compiling from source
See the official docs for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
Community and contributing
Godot is not only an engine but an ever-growing community of users and engine developers. The main community channels are listed on the homepage.
The best way to get in touch with the core engine developers is to join the Godot Contributors Chat.
To get started contributing to the project, see the contributing guide. This document also includes guidelines for reporting bugs.
Documentation and demos
The official documentation is hosted on Read the Docs. It is maintained by the Godot community in its own GitHub repository.
The class reference is also accessible from the Godot editor.
We also maintain official demos in their own GitHub repository as well as a list of awesome Godot community resources.
There are also a number of other learning resources provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc. Consult the community channels for more information.
