GDScript to Python to C Transpiler

gdscript-transpiler-bin is a GDScript compiler (using Nuitka), minimal scripts can be transpiled to Python.

Binary builds are compiled using Forgejo Actions for Alpine Linux, macOS and Windows x86_64.

Other compatible platforms: Android (aarch64 and x86_64).

Also see generated Python source from GDScript.

Example

git clone https://codeberg.org/LinuxUserGD/gdscript-transpiler-bin.git

cd gdscript-transpiler-bin

git submodule update --init --remote --progress

Godot Engine command line (stage0)

• ./godot4 -s bin/gds.gd --headless help

• ./godot4 -s bin/gds.gd --headless run=bin/gds.gd (for running GDScript directly using x-python)

• ./godot4 -s bin/gds.gd --headless format=bin/gds.gd (for generating Python project)

• ./godot4 -s bin/gds.gd --headless compile=bin/gds.gd (for compiling GDScript to binary using Clang and Nuitka)

Python environment (stage1)

Installing python gds

python -m pip install gdsbin

python -m pip install git+https://codeberg.org/LinuxUserGD/gdscript-transpiler-bin.git@python

• python -m gdsbin help

• python -m gdsbin run=bin/gds.gd

• python -m gdsbin format=bin/gds.gd

• python -m gdsbin compile=bin/gds.gd

Nuitka compiled binary (stage2)

Installing gds binary (available at itch.io)

unzip gdscript-transpiler-bin.zip
cd gdscript-transpiler-bin
chmod +x gds

• ./gds[.exe] help

• ./gds[.exe] run=bin/gds.gd

• ./gds[.exe] format=bin/gds.gd

• ./gds[.exe] compile=bin/gds.gd

Benchmark

Time for running GDScript code:

func string() -> int:
	var x: String = ""
	for i in range(0, 300000):
		x += " "
	return x.length()

func add() -> int:
	var x: int = -100000000
	for i in range(0, 100000000):
		x += 1
	return x
