Oops! Site Updated

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0600

I've updated the website for my latest three Jam Projects.

https://sysl.ca/index.php?code=game_13ud
https://sysl.ca/index.php?code=game_deckerspace
https://sysl.ca/index.php?code=game_autowitch

Two of these are in Godot, one in Decker. I've grown a bit more comfortable using Godot, which has been the goal since I've started using it.

I've also uploaded more games to Newgrounds and found a weird Godot bug where if you constantly set the parent 2D node position/global position (even if there's no change), it causes weird physics issues. That was fun to debug!

Thank you to anyone reading and have a lovely day.

Tool：Making Tiles with Chaos

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

I've made a new tool!

Using the POWER OF CHAOS (rolling a random number between 1-4, then applying the rules set) it will generate a 16x16 tile and show it in the background.

You can then save the preview out at the bottom of the page as an image.

It's held together by string, so don't expect the sliders to work fully.

You can play with the tool here: 16x16 Pixel Chaos Generator.

Godot Tip ｢Tile Collision With Tilemap and a Physics Body｣

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

This is how you can detect what tiles you are colliding with when using a Physics Body.

extends Node2D
@export var area: Area2D@export var map: TileMap

func area_entered(_body_rid: RID, _body: Node2D, _body_shape_index: int, _local_shape_index: int): map.erase_cell(0,map.get_coords_for_body_rid(_body_rid))

Godot Weird Problem：Viewport Texture Error with Model

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

In Godot, if you set a ViewPort Texture directly on a Material Albedo you will receive a warning when running your game from the editor. This error appears to be harmless in game but it is annoying.

To work around it, you can set it in code:

Grab a reference to the mesh
Grab a reference to the viewport/subviewport
In the _ready() callback, set the texture.

@onready var mesh_instance_3d: MeshInstance3D = $MeshInstance3D@onready var sub_viewport: SubViewport = $SubViewport
func _ready() -> void: mesh_instance_3d.get_surface_override_material(0).albedo_texture = sub_viewport.get_texture()

This is not likely to be fixed anytime soon, it's been open since 2022...

LuaJIT Quick Tip ｢Table Clear｣

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Ever wanted to empty a table without going though a loop or creating a new table and leaving it to the garbage collector?

Just table.clear(that_table)!

If you're writing a library and you're being nice to non-LuaJIT users, then you can just take a bit of extra time to check if it exists.

if table.clear then table.clear(that_table) else -- deal with it another way end

Godot Effort Post： 3D Pixel Art Rendering

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Godot Project Settings

Go to Project > Project Settings > Display > Window > Stretch > Mode and set it to "viewport".
Go to Project > Project Settings > Display > Window > Stretch > Aspect and set it to "keep" *
Go to Project > Project Settings > Rendering > Quality > 2D > Use Pixel Snap and turn this On.
Make sure Pixel Snap is enabled for 2D View
Whenever you add a Sprite or AnimatedSprite node, make sure to disable the "Centered" property. For the AnimatedSprite node you will find that property under "AnimatedSprite" and for the Sprite node you find it under "Offset".
Change the default Rendering Texture in Project Settings rendering/textures/canvas_textures/default_texture_filter (you need to activate Advanced Settings), to Nearest instead of Linear.

Viewport Settings

Snap2D and Filter do not inherit, make sure they are set in the viewport.

Love, Transparency and OBS

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0700

First of all, thank you @xkeeper for this, who found this worked even after being told "It can't be done". The code is below:

function love.draw() -- This is all you need to do in your Love2D Code, set the background to transparent. -- Note, this will still appear as black in the Love2D Game Window. love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0,0,0,0) -- Draw things after here! endSetting up the OBS Capture

Game Capture
Mode: Capture Window
Allow Transparency: True/Checked

That's It?

That's it. As long as you don't change the background, anything drawn in the love2D window will be drawn as if on top of a transparent background. Great for fun effects without having to use a chroma key.
