Kotlin/Native wrapper for the Godot Game Engine
Release README
Overview
This is a Kotlin language wrapper for the Godot game engine. It uses the GDNative utility to interact with Godot's core api's. The wrapper provides you Godot API's as Kotlin classes, so you can write your game logic completely in Kotlin. It will be compiled into a dynamic library using Kotlin/Native. It contains GDNative bindings which allows Godot core and Kotlin code interact with each other. You don't have to worry about any binding logic. Just write your game scripts like you would for GDScript or C#.

Important notes
The binding will be merged with https://github.com/raniejade/godot-kotlin.
The development will be in this repository in a new branch. Name: master-merge.
We strongly don't recommend using this binding until the new binding is in place!
The development of the new binding will probably start by the end of week 13 of 2020 here in this branch.
