SmartShape2D VS vim-godot

- 2D polygons are supported at the same level as primitives and can be used as collision https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D here is a popular plugin that mimics unity spriteshapes.

For smooth 2D level design, look into SmartShape2D.

It's an add-on named "smartshape2d", very handy https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D

Amazing plugin: https://github.com/SirRamEsq/SmartShape2D for curved terrain.

yes there is, u/Nkzar already linked you to the SmartShape2D plugin.

Instead of making your own tools, the SmartShape2D plugin might be your thing. It's 2D, but since you're only mentioning planes a 2D tool might work for you.

I started out using tilemaps for that reason. It's much quicker and easier to start prototyping levels. I now use the SmartShape2D addon for the vast majority of my terrain. I would suggest watching a tutorial about it if you decide to try it out. It's a very powerful tool but can be quite daunting/confusing at first. As the previous user said you can use a lot of different nodes though so just try experimenting.

You can run a godot scene without the editor open. I use an editor plugin to do that. However, you'd have to create a scene with a node or setup an autoload in the editor. But then you'd have a code entry point. Godot would get you physics and scenes, and in my limited experience Godot seems capable of being very code driven. But there's tons of features that I don't know how you'd use without the editor (animations).

I followed the instructions on both the vim-godot GitHub and this article, yet I can't get any files to open in Neovim. I can get Neovim to execute scenes in Godot, so clearly they can communicate. Was there any more I needed to do beyond these simple steps outlined for the plugin?

I think if I can't figure a way to stop Godot from opening the script file in its editor, I'll go with this: https://github.com/habamax/vim-godot
