One set of videos I want to recommend that helped me get started with the engine is heartbeasts platformer tutorial. It was made for Godot 3 so if youre using 4 some things may have changed but as someone who wanted to start building platformers it really helped

If anyone has a simple tutorial on getting started with the UI stuff (I'm specifically using Godot 4 in case that's relevant), I'd be very grateful!

Currently struggling with the absolute basics like alignments and how to add padding and whatnot, I'm sure it's simple but it's inscrutable to an outsider 😅
