Another episode for the Godot Raycast Car Series is here!

This time we'll try out shapecast wheels and fix a lot of the problems with the car.

Here is the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lecZ...

Made a debug curve visualizer for Godot to help showcase the actual values inside the curve.

The graph class can choose if they want to draw the curve and background, so I can overlay each of the wheel points on top of each other like in the video.

Build some graph debug tools for Godot to help me visualize why things happens.

It uses the Expressions class to evaluate code so I can quickly set it all up in the inspector to check stuff.

Who else gets annoyed when ProceduralSkyMaterial's sky and ground horizon colors doesn't match in Godot?

Learning InspectorPlugins, the first thing I had to make is syncing these colors.

The root of all my problems...

I've thought Godot had been giving me wonky trimesh collision generation.

Now I know why....

Natural object placement with physics in the editor.

Right now it simulates all rigidbodies in the scene.
I think I'll add a filter to only simulate selected objects so you won't mess up your scene later.

There is always something hidden behind meshes.

Make sure to always scan things with your stencil shaders.

It's really fun playing around with stencil shaders in Godot 4.5 now.

It's incredible how simple masks can help create some awesome new effects now.

Have you ever wonder how to draw textures in Godot?

I've just made a new tutorial on how to make your very own paint system. Check it out!

Got sidetracked while exploring how sub-viewports works in 2D.
When I realized, I had made this.

Had to make some funky code to take the photos of the background layer (which had bloom&brightness adjustments), the moving objects that didn't and also not screenshot the text.

While I was stress testing and playing around with procedural geometry in Godot, I found out you actually lose performance by calling floori() in gdscript.

And since discarding the decimal point is exactly what I want, I guess I'll just divide it normally then.

Experimenting with custom StyleBox'es in Godot, I've made a Stacked StyleBox that is very useful to create buttons.

Got everything I wanted done using Godot's drag and drop system.

A tutorial will be coming out soon on how to use and solve all the problems I encountered along the way.
July 27, 2025 at 3:49 PM
I fell into the drag and drop system rabbit hole.

This is using the Godot's builtin drag drop solution.

There are some limitations, but I've found workarounds for them.
I'll make a quick video about it before I forget everything.

Here's a little prototype I made last month that led to those couple of RTS tutorials I made.

I was experimenting on how to code AI with state machines.

Here's an quick overview on how to use the navmesh system in Godot.

And a few tips to make your agents move correctly on difficult terrain.

Last week, I found out I was using Godot's navmesh settings completely wrong while trying to fix ramp corners.

Now things finally makes more sense.

I make a lot of small projects that never see the light of day, so I'll post here what I'm currently doing just in case.

Last month or so I was playing with making a physics raycast car.

You can follow its progress and make your own with the tutorial series here:

Did you know?

The last selected script files will have blue names.
The more recent it is, the bluer its name will be.
