Does anyone know how to make achievements inside the game and not in an external app

Usually these are done with platform SDKs, like SteamWorks. However, if you just want to DIY them in your own game (for example, if you are not on Steam) then you just need a Dictionary to store booleans or integers that track if an achievement has been unlocked. Here is some sample code I made up.

var achievements = { "Beat Level 1" : false, "Collected 10 Swords" : false, "Swords Collected" : 0 }

func on_level_1_complete():
    achievements["Beat Level 1"] = true

func on_pickup_sword():
    achievements["Swords Collected"] += 1
    if achievements["Swords Collected"] >= 10:
        achievements["Collected 10 Swords"] = true

yeah, but how do you make sure that the player doesn't get the same achievement again, also how can you show the achievement visually so the player can see they earned the achievement

Well the achievement is tracked by a boolean, so you can just use basic boolean logic (if the values are not equal to each other, then the value has changed, and if you know it starts as false, then it must be the first time it is true). To display it is just a basic design issue, it can be displayed however you like.
