Are you sure this is legit? I clicked the link to their article and the blog says “by AI” and none of the people on the studio website have names.

I’m excited to share the little reactive programming library I built for #csharp and #godot, although it will work in any c# project.

This will guarantee deterministic execution and defer mutations when executing bindings to guard against reentrancy issues.

I've been working on small improvements and polish for the 11th alpha of GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor. It's going to be a big release.

You can now easily open files and folders in the file manager from the custom built-in file dialog.

I cannot stress how easy this package makes state management for me. I built my own state machines in PixiJS and was dreading it a bit in Godot. But no more.

Chickensoft have so many other fantastic tools available too. Most of it is for C#, and it makes the Godot dev experience so pleasant.

Started moving Panic Spiral into #godot this week. I learned loads building the prototype in PixiJS. It makes me incredibly grateful how much just *exists* in Godot.

I decided to try Chickensoft's LogicBlocks for state management. And it makes it so straightforward and elegant.

I'm a single person behind this project and if that's the kind of games you like, sharing it and wishlisting helps me greatly.

After a lot of trial and error, it turns out THIS is how to scale a window and its contents by a fixed ratio in #Godot. It's these 3 lines of code. If you leave out any of these commands, you get the "wrong" images below.

Do not ask how long it took to figure this out.😅 #gamedev #code #programming

A graphic showing how to resize a window and its contents in the Godot game engine. A base image is shown, followed by four "outputs." Three of them are wrong and have clear problems with their scale or sizing, the 4th is correct. The three commands used to generate the correct one are:

DisplayServer.window_set_size(new_size) # Vector2i (w,h in pixels)
get_window().content_scale_factor = scale # float (eg 2, 3, ...)
get_window().set_content_scale_size(new_size) # Vector2i (w,h in pixels)
