This tutorial is part of the Rollback Netcode in Godot course. See the previous part if you haven't already!

This is the 2nd part in a tutorial series teaching how to implement rollback netcode in your game in Godot, using the Godot Rollback Netcode addon:

In this part, we install the Godot Rollback Netcode addon, and create the simplest possible demo game from scratch. We'll continue to build on this game in future parts in this series.

Here's the Git repo with the tutorial code (so you don't have to re-type from the screen):
