godot-cpp VS Godot

Write C++ classes or functions using C++ bindings for the Godot engine.

Might have sth to do with https://github.com/godotengine/godot-cpp/issues/1057 . All of these errors pop up when godot::Refs are returned by certain engine functions like the one in FastNoiseLite but objects instantiated via memnew work like a charm. Plus with more gdextensions registered these issues seem to happen at more places.

I think part of the problem is that using GDExtension is like a two-way FFI. You can call (C++) extension functions from GDScript, but the same interface and overhead are used to call (lib) Godot functions from the (C++) extension.

Here's a good example (look, there I am!), although it's a bit old and actually led to perf improvement:

I've had some performance problems with GDExtensions: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-cpp/issues/1063

I tried checking out cpp repo for my godot version 4 from this repo

godot-cpp/gdextension/gdextension_interface.h

Thanks! At the moment I've been running into issues with accessing some methods of the AudioServer as well as overriding some native functions (primarily related to audio_stream and audio_stream_player). These issues on the issue tracker cover them: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-cpp/issues/1090 https://github.com/godotengine/godot-cpp/issues/1088 That said, there may be a way around this, it could just be that different bindings need to be used - currently the audio stream and audio stream player code is heavily based on existing classes like AudioStreamPlayerPolyphonic. Worst case I believe Godot itself needs to be updated to expose the appropriate bindings. I'll upload a separate branch for what I have for the GDExtensions version (though it fails compilation) sometime soon. I started this as a traditional Godot module during the 4.0 pre-alpha days but I definitely want to move it to GDExtension so its super easy for people to pull into the official engine release.

Instead, I was recommended Godot by a fellow developer. It is an easy-to-pickup and beginner-friendly open-source engine, which I will use to develop the Tetris game.

Here's an example file tree from a part of the Godot game engine source code.

Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

The Bitcoin and Mastadon links don't seem to be working! (wiki not found)

Would love to see this for Godot (https://github.com/godotengine/godot). Maybe Maplibre too (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native)!

Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.
