Daily Godot Tip #18: If you are using floats but want to make sure value checks aren't messed up by floating-point precision, godot has a built in is_equal_approx(float, float) function (programming.dev)
 

This is usable in any script. It checks to see if the two values differ by a very small value

Alt text: Code that says print(is_equal_approx(1, 0.99999999999)) and then the console log which has printed out true.

123
Daily Godot Tip #17: If you need to test your game on web, instead of exporting and uploading to something like itch.io, Godot has a built in Run in Browser button (programming.dev)
 

This will be available to click on if you have a web export template

Alt text: Clicking on the Remote Debug button in the top right of the Godot Editor and a menu popping up that says Run in Browser on a button, and then Start HTTP Server on a button

52
Daily Godot Tip #16: If you need to debug collisions, theres a setting under Debug at the top called "Visible Collision Shapes" that show you all the collision shapes and thus when they would intersec (programming.dev)
 

Theres similar settings for paths, navigation, and avoidance

Alt text: Hovering over the Visible Collision Shapes setting in the editor and a tooltip showing with "When this option is enabled, collision shapes and raycast nodes (for 2D and 3D) will be visible in the running project"

49
Daily Godot Tip #15: You can quickly increment or decrement number inputs using modifier keys + the arrow keys (programming.dev)
 

Up or down changes the value by 1. Up/Down plus shift being held changes it by 10. Up/Down plus ctrl changes it by 100. Up/Down plus alt changes it by 0.1

Alt text: The x value in the position variable changing by values of 1, then 10, then 100, then 0.1 from different key combinations.

72
Daily Godot Tip #14: If you prefer coding on another monitor rather than within the godot editor, Godot has a button in the top right of the script window to make it floating (programming.dev)
 

This makes it so that its disconnected from the main editor and you can drag it onto other screens

Alt text: A tooltip appearing over the godot edit saying Make the Script editor floating. Appearing near the top right of the script window due to hovering over the top right button there.

39
Daily Godot Tip #13: Theres a setting in the Editor Settings called Action on Play that you can change to open the debugger instead of the output when you click play if you find that more useful (programming.dev)
 

Alt text: Godot editor looking at the Action on Play setting opened and showing the options Do Nothing, Open Output, Open Debugger

This is yesterdays tip but ended up falling asleep before It was posted so there will be another tip today

54
Daily Godot Tip #12: Turning on "auto switch to remote scene tree" in the editor settings makes it so that when you click play it automatically swaps to the remote tab for debugging purposes (programming.dev)
 

This makes it so you can see details about things in the scene without needing to manually swap

109
Daily Godot Tip #11: Using prints adds a space separator between things added to the print function while printt adds a tab separator (programming.dev)
 

This makes it easier to print out multiple things at the same time without needing to do a bunch of string concatenation

Easy way you can remember it is thinking s for space and t for tab. When you want to print normally just call print. Otherwise add s for space or t for tab on the end of the function for the separators.

Daily Godot Tip #10: Godot has a setting in the editor settings called Code Complete Delay that changes how long it takes for auto-complete suggestions to appear (programming.dev)

Changing this to the lowest value (0.01) makes suggestions always appear instantly for really quick coding

I'm continuing my tip series with some more tips (ended up stopping it before since I got busy with some projects). Will have a goal of having tips at least until the new year

Making Lemmy usable - filtering out unwanted political / memes / controversial content in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 71 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed

Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn't currently apart from blocking the communities

An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.

I looked at the community list in programming.dev (from https://programming.dev/communities) sorted by active users per month and noted down the instances for the top 100 communities

its using google sheets

going to recount with lemm.ees community list in a sec since theyre federated with hexbear

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 31 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (7 children)

Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

.ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers

Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

I'm making Melee but FOSS in c/gamedev@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

I can sketch out a better version of them in the future, ill add that onto my queue of things to do. No name yet but can also plan out that

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Is it planned to be 2d, 3d, or pixel art?

If youre looking for another mascot to add theres a programming.dev penguin as well lol. Isnt used much currently but was with our art on fediverse canvas

If you also want another spot to post in we have an !inat@programming.dev community meant for team finding as well

How could I get the inspector of a property type? in c/godot@programming.dev
[–] Ategon@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I dont think I fully understand the question but things should just show as the default type handling in the inspector if you dont override the handling for that type

If you need the individual controls for some reason theres some available like EditorSpinSlider EditorResourcePicker etc

There was a roast my github profile site going around recently so as a counter to that someone made a praise my github profile. Enter your profile and get an AI complimenting you

Daily Godot Tip #8: You can set nodes to be accessed by their name which will let you access it without needing to specify the path to the node. (Only one node can have that unique name for this) (programming.dev)

Sorry for the small delay on this, was competing in a gamedev competition which took up most of my weekend

The way I instantly make the variables is using tip #1 I posted https://programming.dev/post/17169923
