A core of Godot addons for rapid prototyping.
Mostly addons built alongside games like Dot Hop and Dino, but also stretched into prototypes like Blox, Overculted, and Terrorware.
Before static classes, I was using Autoloads similarly to namespaces - for easy access to functions. Most of that functionality has been converted to static classes instead. I'm ironing out and minimizing the remaining stateful behavior to reduce the autoloads even further.
Static classes:
- Util (class_name
U)- a slew of static helper functions for a variety of cases
- Reptile
Autoloads (to be reduced!):
- Navi
- Debug
- Juice
- DJ
Dino was originally a games 'monorepo' - I built games for many jams in the same project, sometimes reusing patterns, other times trying out new things. (I made youtube devlog about this here: Dino Year One)
Eventually I refactored that, smashing the parts of those games into a single steam release (which admittedly needs a bunch more work, but we'll get back to it later). Since then, I've picked and pulled from it whenever I start a new project.
Bones is a place to manage the addons that Dino is built on, with an angle toward jam games and rapid prototyping. Once you start getting serious about your own game (i.e. more than prototyping), you'll probably start writing systems that are specific to that game.
I want to pull over the patterns and the code, but leave most of the assets (or maybe leave some placeholders in place for help getting started.)
The consumable portion of bones is in addons/bones/* - I've started pulling
some ideas and helpers into src/* for things that are not production ready or
otherwise don't work well across projects (like resources with random uids that
get reset per project by godot :eyeroll:)
