What is a .TSCN file?
A .TSCN file is a type of file known as a Godot Engine Text Scene File. It is used by the Godot Engine, which is a free and open-source software for creating both 2D and 3D video games. The .TSCN file contains all the necessary information for a single "scene" or section of a game. This includes details like the paths to any external resources it uses, any internal resources, the connections between different elements, and the nodes or points that make up the scene structure.
To work with .TSCN files, you typically use the Godot Engine. Within the Godot Engine, you can open an existing .TSCN file by going to the "Scene" menu and choosing "Open Scene..." or "Open Recent" to open a recently used file. If you want to create a new scene and save it as a .TSCN file, you would go to "Scene" → "New Scene" or "New Inherited Scene." After creating your scene, you can save it by selecting "Scene" → "Save Scene" or "Save Scene As...".
Since .TSCN files are saved in plain text format, they are easy to read and edit, even with a basic text editor. This makes it simpler for developers to manage different versions of a scene and make changes directly to the file. However, for full functionality and to see the changes reflected in the game, it is best to open and edit these files using the Godot Engine or the Godot Editor.
In addition to being primarily opened with the Godot Engine on platforms like Windows, macOS, and Linux, .TSCN files can also be viewed on Android devices. This flexibility allows game developers to work on their projects across different devices and platforms.
