<p>At this point the game should be fully playable (if any detail missing feel free to look into the source code linked at the beginning). Only thing missing is an icon for the game; I did one pretty quicly with the assets I had.</p>

<p>If you followed the directory structure I used, then only thing needed is to transform the icon to a native Windows <code>ico</code> format (if exporting to Windows, else ignore this part). For this you need <a href="https://imagemagick.org/index.php">ImageMagick</a> or some other program that can transform <code>png</code> (or whatever file format you used for the icon) to <code>ico</code>. I used [Chocolatey][https://chocolatey.org/] to install <code>imagemagick</code>, then to convert the icon itself used: <code>magick convert icon.png -define icon:auto-resize=256,128,64,48,32,16 icon.ico</code> as detailed in <em>Godot</em>&lsquo;s <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/changing_application_icon_for_windows.html">Changing application icon for Windows</a>.</p>

<p>You need to download the templates for exporting as detailed in <em>Godot</em>&lsquo;s <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/exporting_projects.html">Exporting projects</a>. Basically you go to <em>Editor -&gt; Manage Export Templates&hellip;</em> and download the latest one specific to your <em>Godot</em> version by clicking on &ldquo;Download and Install&rdquo;.</p>
<p>If exporting for Windows then you also need to download <code>rcedit</code> from <a href="https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases/latest">here</a>. Just place it wherever you want (I put it next to the <em>Godot</em> executable).</p>
<p>Then go to <em>Project -&gt; Export&hellip;</em> and the Window should be empty, add a new template by clicking on &ldquo;Add&hellip;&rdquo; at the top and then select the template you want. I used HTML5, Windows Desktop and Linux/X11. Really the only thing you need to set is the &ldquo;Export Path&rdquo; for each template, which is te location of where the executable will be written to, and in the case of the Windows Desktop template you could also setup stuff like &ldquo;Company Name&rdquo;, &ldquo;Product Name&rdquo;, &ldquo;File/Product Version&rdquo;, etc..</p>
