Saw the closed source "LANBucket" post and wanted to share this dead simple free / open source option.

Windows, but will also work mostly the same on Linux.

Download Caddy for 64-bit Windows: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy such as this one: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/download/v2.11.4/caddy_2.11.4_windows_amd64.zip

Extract. Create a share/ folder. Move any games, music, etc into share/

Create a Caddyfile with

{
    auto_https off
}

:80 {
    root * ./share
    file_server browse
}

Optionally, create a run.bat with

@echo off
ipconfig
caddy.exe run
pause

Double click run.bat (it'll display your IP address, and run caddy.exe for you)

Done!

Anyone at your LAN Party can simply open Chrome, Firefox etc. and visit your IP to download files in share/ with a fancy web UI

Setup should look like

Blueprint vs Verse: WHY NOT BOTH?

Godot has 3 built-in languages out of the box: C++, GDScript, C#

Blueprint has been a major competitive advantage for artistic creators since UE 4- IMHO it's the best visual language out of any engine.

Also many systems still also rely on the graph editor, ex: Animation graphs, Material graphs...
