Coding shenanigans and other nerdy musings
After playing with Godot within its own rules, I decided to check out what is the experience of bringing in external C++ code into a Godot project through their GDExtensions system. Using it, I bring over two different implementations of toyBrot into a regular Godot project. One with C++ threads and another with OpenCL, pushing Godot being its comfort zone
This post covers the C++ side of things and what’s been my experience so far
Second part of December 2023’s Godot Mini Monthly
After saving images from toyBrot, I now do it on the web. Not only this but I also added the ability to save and load “states” of the application, which you can even take between different versions.
Being on the web means a lot more hoops to jump through but also opens up the door to many more possibilities not only for games, but also for general applications. And Godot does its best to help you get there
First part of my Godot Mini for December 2023. In this post I talk about adding screenshot saving functionality to interactive toyBrot. This includes file system access, introducing additional viewports and manipulating them to get the image parameters you want.
This is all on desktop, laying a foundation for part 2 where I take this functionality and more into the web
In this post I go talk about my exploration of Godot as a general application framework. Mainly using Godot to write responsive GUIs with lots of controls and elements and whatnot
I talk a bit about my initial experiences with the Godot game engine and how it’s been learning it and using it for some introductory projects
