Godot Project Settings

• Go to Project > Project Settings > Display > Window > Stretch > Mode and set it to "viewport".
  
• Go to Project > Project Settings > Display > Window > Stretch > Aspect and set it to "keep" *
  
• Go to Project > Project Settings > Rendering > Quality > 2D > Use Pixel Snap and turn this On.
  
• Make sure Pixel Snap is enabled for 2D View
  
• Whenever you add a Sprite or AnimatedSprite node, make sure to disable the "Centered" property. For the AnimatedSprite node you will find that property under "AnimatedSprite" and for the Sprite node you find it under "Offset". 
  
• Change the default Rendering Texture in Project Settings rendering/textures/canvas_textures/default_texture_filter (you need to activate Advanced Settings), to Nearest instead of Linear.

2. Grab a reference to the viewport/subviewport
   
3. In the _ready() callback, set the texture.

How to use static typing

var damage: float = 10.5
const MOVE_SPEED: float = 50.0
func sum(a: float = 0.0, b: float = 0.0) -> float:
return a + b

var damage := 10.5
const MOVE_SPEED := 50.0
func sum(a := 0.0, b := 0.0) -> float:
return a + b

1. There is no difference between = and := for constants.
   
2. You don't need to write type hints for constants, as Godot sets it automatically from the assigned value. But you can still do so to make the intent of your code clearer. Also, this is useful for typed arrays (like const A: Array[int] = [1, 2, 3]), since untyped arrays are used by default.
   

What can be a type hint

Here is a complete list of what can be used as a type hint:

1. Variant. Any type. In most cases this is not much different from an untyped declaration, but increases readability. As a return type, forces the function to explicitly return some value.
   

2. (Only return type) void. Indicates that the function does not return any value.
   

3. Built-in types.
   

4. Native classes (Object, Node, Area2D, Camera2D, etc.).
   

5. Global classes.
   

6. Inner classes.
   

7. Global, native and custom named enums. Note that an enum type is just an int, there is no guarantee that the value belongs to the set of enum values.
   

8. Constants (including local ones) if they contain a preloaded class or enum.
