Just been learning about using Signed Distance Fields for sharp scaled font rendering.

raylib has a built-in feature for creating SDF font atlases, letting you GPU render SDF font textures.

Been playing with Rust extensions in Godot and wanted to add a GitHub Actions workflow.

As well as the usual Rust suspects, I added:

— Scony/godot-gdscript-toolkit to lint GDScript;
— a Rust MSRV check; and
— cargo deny for license issue and vulnerability checks.

Love the Godot 🤖 community 🦀 Rust support for via GDExtension.

Tried converting GDScript tutorial to use Rust gdext, and liked it! Great alternative to C++ when you need performance.

Been looking at Godot 4, GDScript and GDExtension for writing game logic in C, C++, Rust, Swift and other languages. Found some fantastic tutorials.

Love that Godot is lightweight, yet still powerful.
