  • Plans for Nim bindings for Godot 4
    1 project | /r/godot | 13 Jul 2022
    Since Godot 4 is gonna change their binding system the previous Nim bindings are not gonna work and the maintainers stated that they wont adapt the bindings to Godot 4.

  • Programming a Rogue-Like with Rust

    Another option is Nim. Looks and writes like Python but closer to C in performance. It also has static typing so I prefer it for scripting as well.

    People have built a few games with the Nim Godot bindings:

    There’s also an interesting project to do hot reloading using dlls:

  • Inky: Isolation. A 90 minute game built with Enu, Nim and Godot
    3 projects | /r/nim | 3 Jun 2022
    Enu is a 3D live-programming/learning/game development environment written in Nim using Godot 3, godot-nim, and godot_voxel. I use it to run a small local coding club with a group of 12 year olds, and think it is (or at least will be) a great tool for learning to code, and for making games quickly.
  • Is Nim right for me?
    6 projects | /r/nim | 7 Mar 2022
    It uses a python-like language, is free & open-source (MIT License), has a fantastic GUI creation system, exports to all major OS's, and produces single small binaries. You could eventually incorporate Nim as well, as there are Nim bindings for Godot.
  • How can I understand what "bindings to" libraries really do?

  • FYI, you can use Rust as a native scripting language
    6 projects | /r/godot | 26 Nov 2021
    Ant then install the bindings. And thats where I'm a bit lost even after reading Godot docs. Not sure if I'm right, but seems to be necessary to compile Godot?
  • Nim Version 1.6 Released
    37 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Oct 2021
    Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):

    * Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell

    * Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.

    * Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue

    * Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim

    * Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=

    * Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!

    * Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!

    Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.

  • Frustrating ergonomics of GDNative in 3.3 -- are these addressed for 4.0?
    4 projects | /r/godot | 18 May 2021
    As for gdnim, it's my framework built on top of godot-nim. https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim-stub
  • PR for cross-language script class support is testable! (`class_name` feature for GDScript, VisualScript, C#, and NativeScript)
    2 projects | /r/godot | 27 Dec 2020
    I've renewed my enjoyment of programming through game development (an area I haven't been active in before) and had a great time implementing a Quadtree in GDScript but then the other problem of raw execution speed for any script language made that a bit disappointing as well (it worked well but was only an improvement for larger numbers). So now I'm learning Nim (which has godot-nim bindings) to be able to write really performant code in an easy way.
