## Overview

Godot is a cross-platform 2D/3D game engine with an editor-to-export workflow: users edit projects, the engine loads resources and runs game logic, rendering and platform drivers provide runtime services, and export tools package games for target platforms. Major documented capabilities also include debugging and profiling. The tree and README establish these product areas; sampled source gives only partial implementation evidence, so the graph omits uncertain call wiring and represents the principal relationships at subsystem level.

Main entry points: [`editor/editor_node.cpp`](https://github.com/codi-fredericks/godot/blob/master/editor/editor_node.cpp) (Godot editor), [`core/object/script_language.cpp`](https://github.com/codi-fredericks/godot/blob/master/core/object/script_language.cpp) (Script runtime), [`drivers/gles3/storage/material_storage.cpp`](https://github.com/codi-fredericks/godot/blob/master/drivers/gles3/storage/material_storage.cpp) (Material storage), [`servers/rendering/renderer_rd/storage_rd/texture_storage.cpp`](https://github.com/codi-fredericks/godot/blob/master/servers/rendering/renderer_rd/storage_rd/texture_storage.cpp) (Texture storage)
