# 2D Essentials in Godot 4.3+
All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs. GDScript is shown first, then C#.
> **Related skills:** **player-controller** for CharacterBody2D movement patterns, **animation-system** for AnimatedSprite2D and sprite animation, **physics-system** for collision shapes and raycasting, **camera-system** for Camera2D follow and shake, **shader-basics** for 2D shaders and post-processing, **godot-optimization** for rendering and draw call tuning.
