.SH NAME
|
|
godot \- multi\-platform 2D and 3D game engine with a feature\-rich editor
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B godot
|
|
[\fI\,options\/\fR] [path to scene or 'project.godot' file]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Godot Engine is an advanced, feature\-packed, multi\-platform 2D and 3D game
|
|
engine.
|
|
.br
|
|
It provides a huge set of common tools, so you can just focus on making
|
|
your game without reinventing the wheel.
|
|

|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-language\fR <locale>
