In doing so, I learned that Godot has a textbox control that supports rich formatting using... drumroll... BBCode!
Not only was this hugely nostalgic, it was also very practical.

I noticed that running the Mono version of Godot from Visual Studio (which is the only way to hit breakpoints) doesn't show the log outputs anywhere.
So I added a developer console that you can open with the tilde key, so you can look at the logs from within the game!

Sounds really cool! Will check it out later.
I've been meaning to get back to your gist about streaming ANSI control sequences as a way of squeezing more performance out of writing to a terminal.
gist.github.com/xoofx/a9310a...
Is that functionality in this library in any way?

Happy New year!
Have a very blessed 2026. Make something beautiful, even if you're the only one who thinks it's any good. 😁

That could actually be a pretty neat premise for a game, that the developer is actively involved in the plot and interacts with the characters. 😁

My daughter suggested she help by creating some 3D models for my city building prototype.
Below screenshot shows off the house model she made in just a few hours. I'm baffled and amazed.
I don't know if it's possible to be more proud as a dad.

I have never done anything with WASM, so I tried creating a DJ Controller. Drag your own MP3s to either one of the two decks to analyse the tracks BPM and key, and make professional transfers (sort off), everything client side. All analysis are Rust, frontend Angular

This new version notification does NOT do this change justice, AT ALL.
There's so much redesigning, refactoring and re-balancing in this change, but I clicked through the PR too quickly and only the initial reason for starting that branch remained. 😅

Found Sokol.NET - C# bindings for the Sokol crossplat gfx framework. If you haven't heard about Sokol, it's a C header-only library to build crossplat gfx/audio apps (games). Sokol.NET wraps it for C# (Win/Linux/Mac/Android/iOS/WASM). Tons of samples. Also native AOT: github.com/elix22/Sokol...

It's been a few weeks since I "finished" my short story. Since then I've been rereading it and making small adjustments to the text.
Clarifying things, removing redundancies, rewriting short pieces to make it flow better.
I'll have to learn when that's enough, but it's improving a lot.

When I run Tar locally with the -acvf flags, I get a zip archive that the Windows shell can open. When ran from a Github worker, windows can't open it.
7Zip still opens it fine, so it's not broken, the archive explorer in Windows shell just doesn't like it.
#tar #zip #github #windows

Ah, I understand what you mean. You could do something like that if you need to pass scene references around.
I don't have a need to do that, all I wanted was a single entry-point for instantiating scenes that would also cache the loaded scene so a second instance could reuse it.

I tried searching for SceneReference, but I keep ending up on Unity documentation pages, are you sure that's in Godot as well?

In this new project, the game 'core' is separate from the Godot classes, where the latter functions as a presentation layer.
The core then raises events when things happen that the Godot part needs to know about, so messages can be shown, sounds played, or anything else.
