Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
`get_char_size()` is a public virtual function defined in the `Font`
class. Implementations exist for both `BitmapFont` and `Dynamic Font`.
However, it was only exposed to the GDScript API through the Bitmap
Font, and not for Dynamic Font.
This commit exposes the function through `Font` instead.
Fixes#23967
(cherry picked from commit a4413710f9)
See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/22581#issuecomment-576836691.
Not using `or_greater` as there *is* a max size value that the current
implementation can accept. If using e.g. size 6000 with
FiraSans-Regular.ttf, errors are printed due to failing asserts on a
glyph size that should be within 4096x4096 px.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
- Implement outlines based on FreeType Stroker API. This allows
artifact-free results, similar to what you will see in Web or any text
editing tools. Outline is a part of DynamicFont rather than Label,
because outlines have to be baked into the font's atlas. Font has a
default outline_color and a Label can specify font_outline_modulator
that will be multiplied with the Font's color to get the final result.
- draw_char now has to be called twice to fully render a text - first
with p_outline == true for each character and then with
p_outline == false for each character.
- Number of draw-calls is reduced from 5 to 2 per outlined character.
- Overall cleanup of DynamicFont code, extracted duplicated code pieces
into separate methods.
- The change is backward-compatible - Labels still have outline
properties that work exactly as they worked before.
Closes#16279.
Notable potentially breaking changes:
- PROPERTY_USAGE_NOEDITOR is now PROPERTY_USAGE_STORAGE | PROPERTY_USAGE_NETWORK, without PROPERTY_USAGE_INTERNAL
- Some properties were renamed, and sometimes even shadowed by new ones
- New getter methods (some virtual) were added
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Rename user facing methods and variables as well as the corresponding
C++ methods according to the folloming changes:
* pos -> position
* rot -> rotation
* loc -> location
C++ variables are left as is.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
