GDExtensioncode using
sconsNote
The custom GDExtension must be built for every type of platform you'd like to export to, as well as the target, which is either debug or release.
The difference between debug and release targets occurs when you check the "Export With Debug" option when you export the project. If this option is checked, then the game will be in debug mode, and contain extra information and logging useful for debugging your exported game. If it's unchecked, then the game will strip out any debug information, making the game smaller. However, this makes the game harder to debug if it crashes.
By default, running scons will build a debug build for your computer's platform.
You can specify the platform using platform=<platform> flag, and you can specify the target using the target=<target> flag.
Ex. the following command builds the GDExtension for windows release builds.
scons platform=windows target=template_releaseEx. the following command builds the GDExtension for windows debug builds.
scons platform=windows target=template_debugYou can find more information on the buildsystem page and the gdextension example page on the Godot documentation.
To create a custom map, create a new inherited scene of the base_map.tscn by right clicking on the base_map.tscn and selecting "New Inherited Scene". Then, place the newly created scene inside the prefabs/maps folder, and then add to the list of maps in the RaceSettings node in main.tscn.
There are two types of contestants
- Sprite contestant
- Creates a complete contestant using just a 32x32 image
- The name of the sprite is based on the image's file name
- The icon of the sprite is the image
- The color of the sprite is the most frequent color in the image
- Custom contestant
- Creates a contestant from a scene, allowing for greater flexibility
- You can manually define the contestant's color, name, and icon
To create a sprite contestant, import the image into assets/sprites/contestants, and then add the image to the list of sprite contestants in the RaceSettings node in main.tscn.
To create a custom contestant, create a new inherited scene of base_pixel_contestant.tscn by right clicking on base_pixel_contestant.tscn and selecting "New Inherited Scene". Create the new scene inside the prefabs/contestants folder, and then add it to the list of custom contestants in the RaceSettings node in main.tscn.
