Can LongCat 2.0 write working Godot 4 code? 11 of 15 on the first try
By Eduardo Orellana · Updated
LongCat 2.0 passed 11 of 15 Godot 4 tasks on the first try and 13 of 15 after one fix with the test's output, each run headless on Godot 4.7.2. It missed: health with signals, a path on a grid around walls, build and play an animation in code, wait for a signal or a timeout.
AppImage, x86_64. Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 39 or newer.
Intel or AMD Chromebook, with Linux turned on.
Every model measured on the same Godot 4 tasks, each run headless on Godot 4.7.2 at a fixed 60 frames per second.
Measured by Flockbay: the same tasks, the same checks, one fix allowed with the test output.

How the test works
Each task asks for one GDScript file with a stated API, in a fresh Godot project. LongCat 2.0 was asked through its API, the way Flockbay reaches its hosted models: the task in one request, no tools, and the whole file back in a code block. A check scene then loaded the file and drove it on Godot 4.7.2, headless, at a fixed 60 frames per second: it pressed input actions, stepped physics, waited on timers and signals, and compared the results.
When a task failed, the model got the check's output once and could fix its file. Every task touches an API that changed between Godot 3 and Godot 4, or was added since: move_and_slide and is_on_floor, FileAccess and JSON, signals, tweens, Timer nodes, PackedScene, TileMapLayer, ray queries, AStarGrid2D, AnimationLibrary, and lambdas, which capture local variables by value.
The checks themselves are tested first: each passes on a reference answer and fails on an empty script. Run on 2026-10-18.
LongCat 2.0 in Flockbay
LongCat 2.0 is a hosted model in the Flockbay app's model menu, on the Hobby plan and above. It uses the plan's hosted usage about 1.5 times as fast as Auto.
It takes text only, so Flockbay describes the game to it rather than showing screenshots, and it has an effort setting in the composer, from quick answers to longer reasoning.
Move a CharacterBody2D with an input action: pass
The task: Write res://player.gd for Godot 4: a script for a CharacterBody2D that moves right at 200 pixels per second while the input action "ui_right" is held, and stands still otherwise.
Passed on the first try.
extends CharacterBody2D
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
velocity.x = 200.0
else:
velocity.x = 0.0
move_and_slide()
Fall with gravity and land on the floor: pass
The task: Write res://ball.gd for Godot 4: a script for a CharacterBody2D that falls with a gravity of 980 pixels per second squared and stops when it lands on the floor. The scene gives it its collision shape.
Passed on the first try.
extends CharacterBody2D
const GRAVITY = 980.0
func _physics_process(delta):
velocity.y += GRAVITY * delta
move_and_slide()
if is_on_floor():
velocity.y = 0
A score label: pass
The task: Write res://score_label.gd for Godot 4: a script for a Label that shows "Score: 0" when it enters the scene, and has a method add(points: int) that adds to the score and updates the text to "Score: <total>".
Passed on the first try.
extends Label
var _score: int = 0
func _ready() -> void:
text = "Score: %d" % _score
func add(points: int) -> void:
_score += points
text = "Score: %d" % _score
Save and load a dictionary as JSON: pass
The task: Write res://save_game.gd for Godot 4: a script extending RefCounted with two static functions: save_data(data: Dictionary, path: String) -> void writes the dictionary to the file as JSON, and load_data(path: String) -> Dictionary reads it back.
Passed on the first try.
extends RefCounted
## Saves a Dictionary to a file as JSON.
## [param data] The dictionary to serialize.
## [param path] The file path (e.g., "user://save_game.save").
static func save_data(data: Dictionary, path: String) -> void:
var file = FileAccess.open(path, FileAccess.WRITE)
if file == null:
push_error("Failed to open file for writing: " + path)
return
file.store_string(JSON.stringify(data))
file.close()
## Loads a Dictionary from a JSON file.
## Returns an empty Dictionary if the file doesn't exist or parsing fails.
## [param path] The file path to read from.
## [return] The loaded Dictionary.
static func load_data(path: String) -> Dictionary:
if not FileAccess.file_exists(path):
return {}
var json_string = FileAccess.get_file_as_string(path)

if parsed is Dictionary:
return parsed
push_error("Failed to parse JSON from: " + path)
return {}
Health with signals: pass after one fix
The task: Write res://health.gd for Godot 4: a script extending Node with health starting at 100, a signal health_changed(old_value: int, new_value: int), a signal died, and a method take_damage(amount: int) that lowers health without going below 0, emits health_changed when health changes, and emits died once, when health reaches 0.
Failed on the first try (BENCH FAIL: died emitted 2 times), passed after one fix.

extends Node2D
signal faded
func fade_out(duration: float) -> void:
modulate.a = 1.0

tween.tween_property(self, "modulate:a", 0.0, duration)
tween.tween_callback(emit_signal.bind("faded"))
Spawn on a timer, then stop: pass
The task: Write res://spawner.gd for Godot 4: a script extending Node that, once in the scene, adds a new child Node2D every 0.25 seconds, using a Timer, and stops after 4 children. It keeps the number spawned in a variable spawned_count.

if child is Timer:
child.stop()
A door with states: pass
The task: Write res://door.gd for Godot 4: a script extending Node for a door with the states CLOSED, OPENING and OPEN. It starts CLOSED. A method interact() starts opening a closed door; 0.5 seconds of game time later it is OPEN. A method get_state_name() -> String returns "CLOSED", "OPENING" or "OPEN".
Passed on the first try.

return _items.get(item_name, 0)
Load a level scene from a path: pass
The task: Write res://level_loader.gd for Godot 4: a script extending Node with a method load_level(path: String) -> Node that loads the scene file at path, creates an instance of it, adds it as a child, and returns it.
Passed on the first try.
extends Node
func load_level(path: String) -> Node:
var packed_scene = load(path) as PackedScene
if packed_scene == null:
push_error("Failed to load scene at path: " + path)
return null
var instance = packed_scene.instantiate()
add_child(instance)
return instance
Paint cells on a TileMapLayer: pass
The task: Write res://grid_painter.gd for Godot 4.7: a script extending TileMapLayer with paint_row(y: int, from_x: int, to_x: int) that sets the cells from (from_x, y) to (to_x, y) inclusive to tile source 0, atlas coordinates (0, 0), and is_painted(cell: Vector2i) -> bool that says whether a cell has a tile.
Passed on the first try.

- Is LongCat 2.0 good at Godot?
- On these 15 tasks it passed 11 on the first try and 13 after one fix. Each task is small and checked by running it, so the score says whether its Godot 4 code works, not how well it designs a game.
