Godot

Follow these steps to start tracking your game development in Godot with Hackatime:

1: Log in to Hackatime

hackatime.hackclub.com

Sign in with your Hackatime account (or create one if you don’t have one yet)!

2: Set up Hackatime

Follow the instructions on the site, then copy the command into whatever terminal program you use. (The command will be different on Windows - make sure to pick the right one!)

This will set some environment variables and tell Hackatime where to “phone home” when you’re working.

💡 Visit our setup page to automatically configure everything!

3: Download Godot

godotengine.org/download

Download the Godot binary! If you’re on Linux and know what you’re doing, make sure to check your distro’s package manager for any special builds.

4: Create a new Godot project

If you’d like to be able to run your game in browser, choose the Mobile renderer. Otherwise, Forward+ is a good option.

5: Install Godot Super WakaTime

Via asset library (recommended)

1. Open Godot Engine
2. Create or open a project
3. Go to the AssetLib tab in the project manager or editor
4. Search for “Godot Super Wakatime”
5. If prompted, click ‘Go Online’ to be able to search
6. Click Download and then Install

6: Enable Godot Super WakaTime

1. Go to Project → Project Settings → Plugins
2. Find “Godot Super Wakatime” in the list
3. Enable the plugin
4. You’ll be prompted to enter your WakaTime API key (this should be automatically configured from step 2!)

All done!

After you’re finished, make sure to check hackatime.hackclub.com after a little while and ensure you’re logging progress!

You can also try some wakatime.com/plugins if you’d like to log time spent editing your project in other programs.
