godot-game-template VS NaughtyAttributes

Basically I explained everything in this issue: https://github.com/crystal-bit/godot-game-template/issues/80

I don't actually know what this does, but it looks really well done (https://github.com/crystal-bit/godot-game-template) (general game template with some scene managers)

If you go with Godot, you can use a template like crystal-bit/godot-game-template to automate pushing a build to github pages. Then you can share a link for students to play.

FYI, there is also abarichello/godot-ci which I think supports 3 and 4 with and without C#. I use it via crystal-bit/godot-game-template and it exports web and native builds, hosts web builds on GitHub pages, and pushes builds to itchio.

Check out crystal-bit/godot-game-template for a github template for godot games that build for those platforms with Github Actions. I haven't actually used any of them but the html5 one yet, but really nice that it was so easy to setup.

I often wonder about this too - is it better to switch scenes or have a very basic "main" scene that's basically just a persistent container for more substantive scenes which are instantiated and freed as needed. Haven't tried it yet but I did stumble across this github repo which demonstrates one approach: https://github.com/crystal-bit/godot-game-template

The game has been made using the Godot Game Template, check it out if you want automatic CI builds + extra utils for your game!

NaughtyAttributes is a free plugin that allows you to do so. By using attributes you can make your fields a lot easier to manage. For example [Tag] is an attribute that allows your string to be directly linked to the corresponding tag.

In Unity, you could use NaughtyAttributes and then use the [Required] attribute to indicate that a value is mandatory.

NaughtyAttributes https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes is amazing for quickly and easily customizing script inspectors without having to resort to a full custom inspector GUI

Naughty Attributes is your friend

It's a professional team of ~15. Being able to customize the display of data within the Inspector makes it much easier for less technical team members to tune and create.

I personally love Naughty Attributes: https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes which makes it easy to add inspector buttons to functions.

I went and looked for the open source version I mentioned - https://github.com/dbrizov/NaughtyAttributes

For Unity, I strongly recommend something like NaughtyAttributes to help expose your data in the Inspector with better widgets and validation. (There are paid alternatives too. Odin might accomplish a lot of the same?)

There's also free alternatives like naughty attributes which has a HideIf attribute too
