Godot Demo Projects

This demo demonstrates how to bake navigation meshes for large-scale world systems using a chunk-based approach. It is designed to handle navigation in environments where the world is divided into manageable chunks rather than one single massive mesh.

Key Features:

• Baking navigation meshes for large world chunk systems.
• Debug path visualization.

Interaction:

• Left Click (Mouse): Changes the starting position for the debug paths.

The networking demos in this repository showcase various multiplayer and networking features within Godot.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Languages: All demos include GDScript implementations. Demos utilizing WebRTC may use C++ via GDExtension.
• Renderer: All networking demos are configured to use the Compatibility renderer.

The 2D Physics Tests demo provides a suite of tests designed to evaluate the Godot 2D physics engine. It serves two primary purposes:

1. Functional tests: Used to verify engine behavior and check for regressions.
2. Performance tests: Used to evaluate the performance capabilities of the 2D physics engine.

Technical Specifications:

• Language: GDScript
• Renderer: Mobile

The misc folder contains Godot demo projects that do not fit into specific categories. These demos utilize various languages and renderers:

• Languages: Most demos use GDScript. Specific demos include Godot shader language (e.g., OpenSimplexNoise) and C# (e.g., OS test).
• Renderers: The Large World Coordinates demo uses the Mobile renderer, while all other miscellaneous demos use the Compatibility renderer.

Squash the Creeps (3D) is a simple game demo where the player moves and jumps to squash enemies to gain points. This project serves as a finished implementation of the "Your first 3D game" tutorial found in the official Godot documentation.

Key technical features demonstrated:

• Player input handling.
• 3D movement and jumping mechanics.
• Random enemy spawning within a game arena.
• Using the built-in animation editor.
• Implementing a complete game loop (scoring, lose conditions, and restarting).

Technical Specifications:

• Language: C#
• Renderer: Forward+
• GDScript Alternative: A GDScript version is available in the 3d/squash_the_creeps directory of this repository.

The 2D demo projects provide various examples of 2D gameplay and mechanics. These demos do not share a common theme and are intended to showcase different aspects of the Godot engine's 2D capabilities.

Technical Specifications

• Languages: Most demos are written in GDScript. Some demos also utilize the Godot shader language.
• Renderers: The demos use different rendering backends depending on the specific project:
  • Forward+: Used by Glow for 2D and Physics Platformer.
  • Mobile: Used by 2D Particles.
  • Compatibility: Used by all other 2D demos.

The Rhythm Game demo is a GDScript-based project designed to demonstrate how to synchronize gameplay with audio and music. It specifically addresses playback position jitter by implementing a 1€ filter to ensure smooth note movements.

Technical Specifications:

• Language: GDScript
• Renderer: Compatibility
• Key Technique: Uses a 1€ filter for smooth movement and follows Godot's audio synchronization strategies.

This project demonstrates four distinct types of editor plugins:

• Custom Node Plugin: Demonstrates how to create a custom node type using add_custom_type. Located in addons/custom_node.
• Main Screen Plugin: A minimal example of creating a plugin with a dedicated main screen. Located in addons/main_screen.
• Material Creator Plugin: Shows how to add a custom dock and create a custom Resource type with custom loading, saving, importing, and exporting logic, including editor integrations. Located in addons/material_creator.
• Simple Import Plugin: Demonstrates how to handle importing a custom file type (e.g., *.mtxt). Located in addons/simple_import_plugin.

These demos demonstrate different techniques for loading scenes and other data within Godot.

Technical Specifications:

• Language: All demos are implemented using GDScript.
• Renderer Compatibility:
  • The Loading with Threads demo requires the Mobile renderer.
  • All other loading demos use the Compatibility renderer.
