Godot

In this video, I will demonstrate how we can easily insert 3D models or complete 3D scenes into the environment of our 2D game in Godot 4. Let's see how this is done using the SubViewport node.

Is there any way to run a given string at runtime? I have tried to write something like this by creating a new node and attaching a new script to it, and I have gotten this far:

var new_node:Node = Node.new()
add_child(new_node)
var new_script:GDScript = GDScript.new()
new_script.source_code = "extends Node\nfunc run():\n\t" + script_to_execute
print(new_script.source_code)
new_node.set_script(new_script)
pressed.connect(new_node.call.bind("run"))

This gets an error (but not a crash) when hitting that last line:

emit_signalp: Error calling from signal 'pressed' to callable: 'Node::call': Method not found.

This is pretty weird, as a Node should always have access to the method "call". Does someone have an idea on how to solve this / their own idea on how to implement runtime code editing and executing?

Before the humble bundle came out, I bought the GameDev.tv "complete" Godot course - I had a good early bird discount since I've used them for Unity.

Over the past few years, I have completed the 2D, 3D, and several of the RPG intermediate courses for unity as well as a Blender course so was super excited for this new one!

And then was super disappointed.

I start with the 2D course every time and this one was...hollow. Super empty. Maybe a quarter of the content as the Unity course with a lot of basic things missing and some really bad practice promoted. I did the whole course on 1.25x speed and still had to skip through a lot of waffle.

I'm now doing courses for free on Youtube and have learnt far, far more.

It really is a shame as I'm a fan of GameDev.tv, but they really missed the mark with the Godot offering.

EDIT: clarity

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Very excited to have another YouTube juggernaut in the open source ring!

Thought people might be interested. I'm tempted to get the shaders course which is the only one in the $1 tier.

Great fixes here. I've been looking forward to some of the fixes like Camera2D's frame delay and code completion improvements.

Oh and they finally fixed the profiler which was bugged and didn't report your worst-performing scripts.

A few weeks ago, I started on a basic tutorial for developing games in Godot: "Ultimate Instruction to Godot 4" on YouTube by Clear Code. My goal was to not just finish the tutorial, but to build on it and create a small game with semi-professional standards. Here is said game, my first attempt not only at developing in Godot, but also my first attempt at creating a game.

If you know what you are doing, a playthrough is around 20-40 minutes, more on higher difficulties. On easy, it is possible to be reckless, while on higher difficulties, the game forces you to be quite considerate of your resources.

As this is my first game ever, I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback. I hope that, if you try it out, you will have as much fun with the game as I had making it!

Hi! I've been making games for a little while, though nothing too fancy - mostly mobile platformers, delivery games, and visual novels. I recently moved from Unity to Godot and finished the "Complete" Godot 2D course on Gamedev.tv.

I want to challenge myself and have a really strong design for an AR mobile game. I have never programmed an AR app before. I have found dozens of courses/tutorials for Unity, but none for Godot.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've read the documentation, but would much rather a hands on tutorial or course.

Hi everyone! As you may recall, in one of the previous videos, I was creating snow particles in a 3D scene. This time, I would focus on a similar effect, but instead, it would be in 2D, and it would be rain particles.

I made a mod launcher for classic Doom (specifically, GZDoom) because I wasn't a fan of what currently exists. CleanDoom focuses on simplicity and usability.

If anyone here is a Doom fan, give it a try and let me know what you think!

This may not sound that relevant to this community, but I made this with Godot 4.2, so I thought I'd share it here too.
