Godot has a funky way of managing groups that a node belongs to.
I tried to simplify this. Rather than having this Group Manager, I decided I would just list all the groups in the scene and let the user toggle on/off.

UI struggle on Godot/iPad.
Currently you can import files into a project by clicking [ ] on the file pad, and it will default the target directory to your selection. But this is not easy to discover.
So I figured "Let me add an Import File in the top menu", and I can popup a file selector.
But that would dump the files at the root of the project.
Alternatively, I would need to open *two* file selectors: one to pick the file to import, one to pick the desti…

I don’t suppose anyone has ported #Wayland to #Godot right?

Today I won't be doing any complex Godot/SwiftUI integration work.
Today is a day of SwiftUI leisure, and I am just going to polish some rough edges here and there in the UI.

Wanted to split my settings menu in multiple categories, ended up rewriting Godot's TabContainer as a tool script. 😂 Technically it's using buttons, not tabs, but only because I really wanted VERTICAL TABS! Should I release this as an add-on? 🤔

#DeutscheTelekom promised me fiber one year ago.
They promised I'd be connected before December last year.
This morning, I finally saw the Glasfaser truck in front of my home.
They left without doing anything.
It's Godot, but Godot is seen hanging out in the background for a couple minutes, where he flips the finger then fucks off giggling.

Well, it turns out that the #godot 360 panorama #vr renderer I wrote still wasn't right.
It does a final image-warp to map from the perspective projection it renders into an equirectangular projection for playback, and the function was doing the opposite of the intended job.
I only thought it was working because it also had an eye-switching bug which fixed the eyes-rendering-wrong bug in the earlier code so really seemed to make things look better.
Only really became apparent as I got to rendering things other than test graphics.
That's fixed now, by reversing the mapping function.
Is it right now? Yes? Maybe. I dunno. I don't really understand the maths let alone why I had to reverse it.
Like the Doctor says, you can just #reverseThePolarityOfTheNeutronFlow, give it a try.

The one thing I am dreading about Godot/iPad is setting up the CI on Xcode Cloud.
Those devices are powered by modded raspberry pis running MacOS.
I am thinking that one hack might be to use GitHub CI custom runners that SSH into my Studio to do the heavy lifting, and then use those binaries as the input to Xcode Cloud.

While my UI for Godot on iPad is making a lot of progress, I have come to realize that getting assets into Godot or loading existing projects is an area I haven’t touched.
The iPad doesn’t make it easy to get files into it.

These are two instances of a full-blown Godot running side-by-side in the same process.

But this time, rather than being one-at-a-time, they are simultaneous.
This was necessary to support debugging of Godot apps on the iPad (and soon Vision).

Hello! Background Our team is quietly working on developing a new electronic trading system using Swift on macOS and Linux, building on our experience from two previous projects that have been done in C, Objective-C, C++, Java, C# and even for a while, homegrown DSL. All running on multiple OS:s at various points; NeXTSTEP, OpenStep, Windows NT, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux. These past projects have been fairly sizeable, with over 25 million lines of code and several hundred components between them o…

I have no clue how particle emitters work 🤣

In retrospect, without the new @Observation macro in SwiftUI, it would have been pointless to try to rewrite the Godot UI in Swift.
Not only does it prevent you from drowning in bullshit details that you need to get right, but leads to a set of idioms that are just so convenient.
Will blog as soon as I come down from this progress high.

Started to put together a replacement for the Godot Text editing experience, taking some layout ideas from Xcode and Swift Playgrounds:
Left, my iPad UI; Right the existing Godot UI on Mac:

This is a neat little optical effect. It looks like you’re driving the car and slowing down, but it’s just camera easing.

UI-wise, I am struggling with that tab bar at the top.
Godot has an unusual set of tabs at the top that map to scenes, but the actual view is controlled by the top-level items.
I am not sure what to do about those two tab bars.

I created a neat pause menu in #godot with BBCode and a RichTextLabel.

@… am I wrong or using your working copy “external” repository would work as a way of accessing files and pushing to GitHub in my Godot port?
Is there something I might not be understanding that might prevent that?

Learning about ParallaxBackground in #godotengine. I made this little Cyberpunk runner sample to show the parallax effect in the background.

Godot on iPad progress.
Starting to look at replacing the Godot Text Editor with a native solution. Runestone looks great for this.
I stitched a tree-sitter package for GDScript into Runestone, and brought the Neovim syntax SCM files over and it looks like syntax highlighting and language-aware indentation work just fine.
It is magical!

I have gone back and forth on how to deal with that pesky preset button on the Godot Importer pad.

There is an odd space at the bottom that I have not quite figured out where it comes from in SwiftUI.

Update on SwiftGodot and strict concurrency.
The easy stuff is gone, but the remaining stuff is hard. I could brute force my way to the end, but goal is not to just have it build, I want to make sure that my users can rely on the guarantees and be able to benefit from this additional level of safety.
So the next step will take some time to complete, as many of these will require some research into some Godot features.

When I started rewriting Godot editor on iPad, I figured I could only pull that stunt with the productivity of SwiftUI -otherwise it would just be a failed project.
I feared two things (a) that it would be too complex for SwiftUI and would break in odd ways and (b) that would only work for a few UI bits would need to resort extensively to UIKit and be bogged down on it.
So far SwiftUI has been flawless and delivered on the promise-barely any UIKit code exists and the reliability …

Godot on iPad, styling the code completion with Runestone:

I have been looking at both Codea and Swift playgrounds for inspiration for their development features (like code completion, run/pause, doc integration) for my Godot ipad UI
Are there other IDEs you folks like/enjoy on iPad that I should look at?

In Godot, there is a panel to configure Importer settings, and the way that it works there is that you need to "Save" the values if you like it.
I am thinking that on iPad, I should automatically save, without asking the user. But in that case, perhaps I should add a "Reset to defaults"?
But that is going to ruin my pretty UI

Trying to learn more about #godotengine by playing around with this dino runner game. Added a particle emitter to the dinosaur.

Godot on iPad, now debugging side-by-side the game.
The SwiftUI UI is mostly hidden in this one:

Godot on iPad.
This is the next dialog to work on.
A straight SwiftUI port is trivial, but what I want to do sort out is an iOS-grade replacement UI for this.
The advanced tab in particular gives me anxiety:

The Yak Shaving never ends, Godot on iPad edition.
As more code is rewritten for native code, I figured "Maybe I should also redo the documentation renderer to use WebKit".
I drew inspiration from DocC (I would have taken the whole stylesheet, but that looks like too much work):

For Godot on iPad, I suspect I will need to pre-load a handful of native extensions that can’t be added later. And just let the user turn on/off.
I am aware of Jolt physics, are there any major ones that folks use?

Shortly before I got obsessed with Godot on iPad, I was working on a game for VisionPro.

This is what it looks like in Mac mode.
Remember that this currently has the two UIs overlaid (SwiftUI Godot) to help me during development to make sure I am not missing anything.
But I am marching towards keeping just the Canvas and the SwiftUI shell:
