GDScript Runner

Running GDScript ideas in CLI is faster than using this GDScript playground, and also the above playground is not using the latest version of Godot.

$ ./new -r hello-world

This automatically generates and opens the file scripts/hello-world.gd, whereafter _init() has been implemented:

extends Node


func _init() -> void:
    print("hello world")


func _ready() -> void:
    queue_free()


# vim:et:ts=4:sts=4:sw=4

Saving and exiting the editor automatically runs the script:

> Godot Engine v4.0.stable.mono.official.92bee43ad - https://godotengine.org
>
> hello world

You can also manually invoke any script previously created:

$ ./run hello-world

Scripts are saved to a scripts/ directory. You should only use the basename of the script, and you can omit the .gd file extension.
