MARCH 29, 2024

The low-poly racing game, developed by Polish indie developer Pixel Perfect Dude , feels like a love letter to the PlayStation 1 era of rally games, where you could actually name the top drivers and the cars they drove. “Ah Racing portfolio Studio Perfect Pixel Dude, based in the city of Kalisz, Poland, was founded in 2013.

Atari ST Programming: A Simple Game in STOS

Retro Game Coders

APRIL 29, 2022

Along the way we will look at some more new features and concepts so you can understand more of how STOS works versus programming languages and game engines you might be used to. Collision Detection and Game Over. STOS includes three built-in collision detection options. Avoid the Monster. Full Demo Game Code.

Be aware that during the alpha stage the engine is still not feature-complete or stable. GUI: Add font LCD sub-pixel anti-aliasing support ( GH-64422 ). Particles: Add "Hide on Contact" collision mode to ParticlesMaterial ( GH-61238 ). Physics: Fix collision solving between world boundary and motion shape ( GH-64936 ).

Godot 3.1 will get many improvements to KinematicBody

JULY 16, 2018

One of the features that make Godot stand out is how easy it is to use the physics engine for non-physics games. This function tries to move the character using that velocity and every time a collision is found, it will slide against it (and adjust the velocity accordingly). KinematicBody. velocity = move_and_slide(velocity).

Multiple fixes to one-way collisions , handling many cases where collisions would not work reliably. New option to snap 2D transforms to whole coordinates , helps prevent jitter on pixel art camera motions. Multiple fixes to one-way collisions (new in beta 6). See godot-docs#4213 for the updated documentation.

The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. Which game engine should I use to maximize ease of learning and compatibility, and manage hundreds of simple objects on-screen? Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0

APRIL 21, 2021

in January 2020, we switched the development focus towards the upcoming Godot 4.0 , which is a major, compatibility-breaking rewrite of the engine's core and rendering. Additional funding will enable us to hire more core developers to work full-time on the engine, and thus further improve its development pace and stability.
