Engine Methods

Returns engine author information in a Dictionary.

lead_developers - Array of Strings, lead developer names

founders - Array of Strings, founder names

project_managers - Array of Strings, project manager names

developers - Array of Strings, developer names

Returns an Array of copyright information Dictionaries.

name - String, component name

parts - Array of Dictionaries {files, copyright, license} describing subsections of the component

Returns a Dictionary of Arrays of donor names.

{platinum_sponsors, gold_sponsors, silver_sponsors, bronze_sponsors, mini_sponsors, gold_donors, silver_donors, bronze_donors}

Returns the total number of frames drawn. If the render loop is disabled with --disable-render-loop via command line, this returns 0. See also GetIdleFrames.

Returns the frames per second of the running game.

Returns the total number of frames passed since engine initialization which is advanced on each idle frame, regardless of whether the render loop is enabled. See also GetFramesDrawn.

Returns Dictionary of licenses used by Godot and included third party components.

Returns Godot license text.

Returns the main loop object (see MainLoop and SceneTree).

Returns the total number of frames passed since engine initialization which is advanced on each physics frame.

Returns the fraction through the current physics tick we are at the time of rendering the frame. This can be used to implement fixed timestep interpolation.

Returns a global singleton with given name. Often used for plugins, e.g. GodotPayment on Android.

Returns the current engine version information in a Dictionary.

major - Holds the major version number as an int

minor - Holds the minor version number as an int

patch - Holds the patch version number as an int

hex - Holds the full version number encoded as a hexadecimal int with one byte (2 places) per number (see example below)

status - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String

build - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom_build") as a String

hash - Holds the full Git commit hash as a String

year - Holds the year the version was released in as an int

string - major + minor + patch + status + build in a single String

The hex value is encoded as follows, from left to right: one byte for the major, one byte for the minor, one byte for the patch version. For example, "3.1.12" would be 0x03010C. Note: It's still an int internally, and printing it will give you its decimal representation, which is not particularly meaningful. Use hexadecimal literals for easy version comparisons from code:

if Engine.get_version_info().hex >= 0x030200:
    # Do things specific to version 3.2 or later
else:
    # Do things specific to versions before 3.2

Returns true if a singleton with given name exists in global scope.

Returns true if the game is inside the fixed process and physics phase of the game loop.
