    You would only need C++ if you made anything very demanding. For most games GDScipt is enough and it is easy python like language that is very integrated to the engine. You also have mono c# option. You could just test it if it is your thing the download is massive ~20 MB. To my knowledge, Discord is best place to get help.

  • Hmmm. All of that - just to set a camera!

    That is kind of metroidvania style camera. Simplest is just to put camera Node as player child and no scripting.

  • +Godot

    Godot 3.0 is now out. Godot has grown a lot since I started and you can find a lot of tutorials for it. Most of the basic 2.0 tutorials will work with little to no modifications.

    A lot of people are afraid of scripting, but after you learn the basic syntax, you will use it before you realize. A little sample camera script.

    extends Camera2D

onready var player = get_node("/root/World/Player")

var resolution = Vector2()
var bounds = Rect2()
var room_size = Vector2(3, 1)

func _ready():
	resolution = settings.resolution
	bounds = Rect2(Vector2(resolution.x / 2, resolution.y / 2), Vector2(room_size.x * resolution.x - resolution.x / 2, room_size.y * resolution.y - resolution.y / 2))
	set_process(true)

func _process(delta):
	var player_pos = player.get_position()
	var pos = get_position()

	pos.x = clamp(player_pos.x, bounds.position.x, bounds.size.x)
	pos.y = clamp(player_pos.y, bounds.position.y, bounds.size.y)

	set_position(pos)[/code:3ayz2oiu]
There is Mono/C# support (still cannot export) and you can link C and C++ code with GDNative, so I think you get all the bunnies you need 

There is also visual scripting now, but I am not familiar with it.

  • Eisenhans Yes but, actually it seems that there is no much difference if at all. I just put that in without much of a thought.

  • This inspired me to make my own test. More of an object count test and much uglier

    I use bullet behavior for the trees instead of parallax layer and the trees only have 4 parts. Layers are only used for layer effects (AdjustHSL). Was wondering how this would run on a weaker systems. Some small extra optimisation could still be done.

    Also does anyone know if there is an easy way to switch between integrated GPU and dedicated card. I have Intel Core i5 3570K (Ivy Bridge) CPU and it has integrated Intel HD 4000 that would be nice for testing.

    Edit: Changed it to use layer scale. Much nicer and easy effect. Also added one more cloud and tree layer.

    [quote:u9yryzgt]also SimCity.. but I am quite disappointed with the latest versions

    Cities: Skylines looks a bit more promising in case you didn't know about it.

  • xeed

    It was intentionally left out. I thought it would make the AI overly complicated and probably acting "dumb". Also I thought it would be CPU taxing and I already had a lot of performance problems. Maybe it would be easier now with pathfinding collision cells but, currently I have no plans to continue this project. I guess if I would do it it would be only for vehicles.

    It has nothing to do with moving units in formation. Only setting animation direction. I pretty much use same thing for formation as in RTS template.

    For 8-direction animation you could use

    set "direction" variable

    int(((self.8Direction.MovingAngle+360+45/2) %360)/45)[/code:20nhk3ck]
and use "stage" like idle,walk, etc. So set animation should be something like.
Set animation.
[code:20nhk3ck] player.stage & player.direction[/code:20nhk3ck]

Animations could be idle0,idle1... idle7. Starting from down right and going clockwise.

    To name a few.

  • You should check the collision boxes. Can get stuck on the corners.

  • Is there a reason why you cannot just set angles instead of animation?
