Import: Fix texture atlas generation when source sprite is larger than generated atlas ( GH-55094 ). Godot is a non-profit, open source game engine developed by hundreds of contributors on their free time, and a handful of part or full-time developers, hired thanks to donations from the Godot community.

stable branch in January 2020 as a major update to our free and open source game engine. This drastically reduces drawcall-related bottlenecks and can give massive gains in specific scenarios (drawing lots of sprites, big TileMaps, text rendering). Top: 10,000 Sprites with a randomized modulate and position.

To explain the idea of how shaders work, let's consider a very simple shader for drawing a sprite to the screen. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands. As you can see: Vertices / UVs are sent via attributes.

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? and no WASM.)

Additionally, all 2D shadows and light textures use a single atlas, resulting in improved performance. the new CanvasTexture texture type has been introduced. A very requested feature for the 2D engine is the possibility to have 2D directional lights and shadows. Improved 2D materials. For Godot 4.0, This has been added for 4.0

The existing animation system in Godot was already one of the most powerful of any game engine, but its age was starting to show (it was written 10 years ago and barely improved). Changing sprite textures, colors, animation frames, calling functions, playing animations in other animation players, playing sounds, etc.
