Game Development for Kids with GDevelop

In this post, I am going to show you how to use BBText Object with GDevelop Game Editor. In previous tutorial I explained you how to make use of the Video object with GDevelop for adding the video into the game. And this means you can easily make the video intro or the video inside the game in between the levels.

So that was mostly for the later use or you can say finishing use for the game development. And for those who wanted to try the video in and outro for the various game settings. It was meant for that and I hope people enjoyed the previous tutorial in that case.

So now we are going to cover the BBText Object. This is meant for the text editing usage and you can use it many other ways provided you can get the idea on how to and when to make use of the BBText for editing.

Before we move onto the tutorial, let's take a look at what we have done so far.

So here is the table of content of the previous tutorials that you can follow for making the specific parts of the game development.

Table of Contents for GDevelop Tutorials

Now that you have seen the Table of Contents, I am sure you can find the new and old tutorials from the series for you to follow along for various types of the game specific questions related to the Gdevelop.

Make sure to download the GDevelop and also make the backup of the content. So that regularly you can have that in your storage and also it takes care of any accidental loss that may happen during the save of the editor. Which it does happen and that is one reason I remind people about taking the backup.
