poly-match VS godot-proposals

Not my experience at all. At work we rewrote a small bit of hotspot python in Rust with no issues. This was what we primarily followed: https://ohadravid.github.io/posts/2023-03-rusty-python/

Take at look at this example, it still uses Python as an interface to Rust code. Maybe you can do something similar to still achieve performance improvements without changing the entire codebase.

People are probably downvoting because it's needlessly hyperbolic and argumentative. Nobody is saying that python isn't faster to iterate with, but they're arguing that it would take months to get negligable performance gains in a lower level language, meanwhile here is a recent post from a company that increased the execution of they're python code by 100x with less than 100 lines of Rust. They also claim that nobody cares if something runs a few milliseconds faster, when we're talking about game dev, where games are frequently judged on how many milliseconds it takes to run game logic between frames.

Semi Vectorized code:

https://github.com/ohadravid/poly-match/blob/main/poly_match...

Expecting Python engineers unable to read defacto standard numpy code but meanwhile expect everyone can read Rust.....

Not to mention that the semi-vectorized code is still suboptimal. Too many for loops despite the author clearly know they can all be vectorized.

For example instead the author can just write something like:

   np.argmin(

The article links to a full implementation, so you should be able to test this.

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.
