I’m curious about your experience with GDScript - which I presume is new to you - because it’s been a stumbling block for me trying Godot.

Its possible he also used the C# variant of Godot. I find GDScript easier for myself, though I come from a Python background. I highly recommend learning Python basics. There are nuanced differences, I think of GDScript as a Python / JavaScript type of language, has the syntax of Python but has some JS / TypeScript things to it.

The current V4 of Godot doesn't support web export via C# - unless it's on a dev branch maybe?

"ERROR: Mono: Core API hash mismatch." is a strong clue that it's using C# instead of GDScript. (I was on the lookout because the same error appears in my own game. Apparently it's benign.)

GDScript is very similar to Python with the additions of signals and slots, which is nice. Except for some minor quirks which I don't remember from the top of my head, it nicely gets the job done.

I haven't tried Godot 4 yet, but from what I read, they improved GDScript even further, which should be nice.

If you think GDScript is holding you back, you can always try C# or C++.
