godot-proposals VS Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi

Godot was fine, for the most part, it's a good engine for small games. The main issue was around working together and resolving conflicts with git (Godot isn't really working and constantly kept changing IDs in resource files), and it kept losing data in scenes when the code changed so we had to rebuild things several times. On previous test games we also ran into huge performance issues in the editor when we wanted to do too much work in scenes, so we had to switch to doing most of the work in code.

The worst part was when I had to rip out a bunch of testing code that used @tool for release as it seemed to cause issues when doing a release build. The engine is generally not great when you want to follow clean software engineering (e.g. dependency injection is not possible, I opened a proposal to that end here[1]).

If we had a Mask2D, this would be super easy and straight forward.

So if that's what OP meant, clip_children property won't work. Instead OP needs to use a CanvasGroup parent and the Line2D (with CanvasItem Material in Subtract mode) and TextureRect as siblings, or any of the other methods explained here until we have a Mask2D node.

There is an open proposal to have a compile option for a LibGodot, as a Library https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6267

Yes, there could be the option to open at least 2 tabs at the same time, when working with scripts. This has probably already been suggested in: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals

I cannot tell exactly where the jitter is from the video, but if it is what I'm thinking of, it is a known issue, see here. There is a proposal to fix this, with tons of discussion here. Try some of the workarounds mentioned in these two links. Game looks great by the way!

It's in the release notes. Here is a link to the pull request, based on this proposal.

I made a quick test project with a scrolling news ticker and clock. I've exported it with both "the" unofficial Godot Engine for the Raspberry Pi and FRT templates. Both have a similar result: when Godot is scalled to full screen, the frame rate for this controls-only (2D) project is < 20 FPS.

If you are targeting the Pi 4 generation it should be even easier as they support vulkan and newer graphics standards out of the box. Take a look here if you want to find out about godot on the newer Pi generations: https://github.com/hiulit/Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi.

Trying to run a raspi build of godot on my android device via vnc it runs when on the pi itself but when I try via vnc it shows this any ideas?

I'm the maintainer of the unofficial Godot Engine binaries for the Raspberry Pi https://github.com/hiulit/Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi You can run the editor and it's really nice indeed :)

I have a godot project that runs directly on a raspberry pi zero w. It took a bit of work to get it to fit in that tiny memory space and I had to use the export template from here https://github.com/hiulit/Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi
