#Godot removed VisualScript #visual-programming in Godot 4. #video Now it’s called Godot Orchestrator and is a GDExtension. One of the suggested uses is “Design complex dialogue conversations for NPCs for any game,” as in, #visual-novels. It’s literally programming by drawing flowcharts, like, 01950s style flowcharts, with arrows to indicate control flow. The main differences are that now the box corners are rounded, the arrows are curved, and there are additional arrows for dataflow. I can see why GameFromScratch said “honestly it never felt like an improvement or viable alternative to GDScript. In fact, it always felt like writing GDScript, just in a less efficient manner than typing.” It’s almost like #GRAIL.
#Bitluni wrote an assembler and interpreter for a new CHIP-8-like bytecode in one day on stream. #video of his 10¢ CH32V003 240-LED matrix board. He wants to switch to a CH32X035, which sounds like it might not be #RISC-V, but has USB-C support built in. Previously he had the buttons on a resistor ladder. He has a tiny little postage-stamp-sized hotplate to reflow his QFNs. If you short D+ to Vcc at powerup time it goes into programming mode and you can install new firmware. #electronics #hardware
