It is free, open source under the MIT license, and small enough to download and start using in minutes. Most Godot games are written in GDScript, the engine’s own scripting language. Sooner or later, though, many projects need something that already exists as a C or C++ library: a simulation library, a database, a networking protocol, a machine learning runtime. GDScript cannot call native code, but Godot can load it through GDExtension, and godot-cpp, the official C++ bindings, lets you expose that code as regular engine classes. Writing the C++ code is the easy part.
