Hi all, trying to get godot to connect to the export templates, I've run into some problems. As a teacher, I have no problem downloading the export templates. Studebts however get an error saying godot failed to get the list of mirrors. I've unblocked the github and tuxfamily download sites and studebts can access them, but where does godot get the list of mirrors?

In short, what do I need to unblock in order to allow my studebts to download export templates as necessary?

Hi all,

I'm playing around with Godot to create a simple platform game that I can use to teach my code-averse students some of the fundamentals of building 2D games with Godot. They appreciate that they will need to use some code, but I want to explain to them the concept of signals and I was after some advice on best practice.

So, currently my project contains the following scenes:

• Player - a kinematicBody2d with a script that controls movement
• environment - a tilemap with various autotiles set up
• Spikes - an area2d which detects when the player collides and emits a signal
• checkpoint - another area2d which detects when the player collides and emits a signal
• goal - an area2d whi

I'm learning godot with the goal of being able to teach my students how to use it, and I've started them off by making a platform game. I'd like to create a background image for the level, and did so using a canvas layer and texturerect (I used texture rect as I wanted to tile the image and this seemed the best way, feel free to correct me). However, id like the background to animate (ie to continually 'move down' while still maintaining the tiling, and without just moving off the bottom of the screen (think like a waterfall style animation in sonic, for instance - an in place animation). Is this possible with the method I've used? I'd like to avoid code if at all possible (my students are s

There's a j pop song I used to have on my phone and now I can't find. I have no idea what it's called and even if I did I'm pretty sure it's all Japanese so wouldn't be able to search for it. Vocaroo here https://voca.ro/1h89LEBlQqLZ

Hi all, I am introducing a game development course in my school next year and canvassing for opinions on what the best combination of game engines would be.

The students will be 16-18 with prior knowledge of python.

The course requires both 2d and 3d implementations, including 3d environment modelling, with exporting to exe a necessity.

My initial thought was godot for GDScript's similarity to python, but how is it in terms of 3d implementation these days? With reference to unreal and unity, how easy are these to use from the perspective of an average high schooler?

If students struggle with scripting in code, which engines also offer some sort of visual scripting?

Then of course there'

Well this week has been incredibly stressful, to the point where I can't even be bothered to talk about it. House is a mess because I've been at work so much I haven't had time to tidy. Roe v wade overturned made me even more miserable. Having nobody to turn to for comfort after this week sucks. Still, karate tomorrow, at least I got that going.

At the start of the song "Violent mood Swings (Thread Mix) by Stabbing Westward, from the clerks soundtrack, there is a sampled breakbeat that I've heard in many many pieces of music. It's common for these well known samples to have names (for example, the Amen Break). Does anyone know the name of this breakbeat sample, or failing that, a list of songs where it's been used? https://youtu.be/yLw2IjRTA0E

I was watching One Piece, and after the Lion's Roar attack I said to my friend 'I bet there' s a long cooldown on that'. And now I'm trying to think of a sci fi movie or it might have been a TV show where a space ship has a powerful one shot attack. I know there's a lot of those, but as I recall they use it once and everyone aboard is like "well that's great" and then when it's revealed that they are just on the float for 5 minutes or so after firing, they're always hesitant to use it. Things I have in my head are X-impulse from Star Fleet, maybe something in Babylon 5? Or possibly Space Battleship Yamato 2199.

I only saw it once, probably on the Something Awful forums. Pretty sure it was supposed to be Kyo vs Inori but there was no post production, filmed on a beach with a camcorder, and the fire was real. There's obviously a chance I'm misremembering it as I watched it on a battered laptop in my friends front room 20 years ago, but any help appreciated.
