I was wondering if there is something going on with the vertex shader causing the webp files to not be properly converted to clip space… but I’m not sure if that would be the case since this problem only exists on ios and on chrome/firefox browsers… any ideas/help/information would be hugely appreciated by our studio!

Initially I intended to have transitions and clips tied together, however after discussions with my mentor I decided it would be best if they are separate. The way it works now is the following: The user selects the active clip. That allows the user to have clips with different tempos.

The vertices become primitives (in this case, a triangle fan, two triangles that are drawn as a quad) and any primitive that goes beyond the -1 to +1 range is clipped. Result is the sprite vertices in the -1 to +1 clip space coordinates. Multiply by 2. Substract (1, 1).

Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.

The class has options for looping and shuffling the clips, and can take up to 64 clips. This allows for accurate time keeping and seamless change in clips. Optionally a transition clip can also be used, which allows for a transitionary clip to be played in between the current and previous clip.

What most game devs do is saturate the singleton pattern. Here we follow the single responsibility principle where we created the audio manager and gave it only one responsibility which is to play the audio clip that we pass to its PlaySound function. Even more software developers will say that. That’s it.

Region takes up more space, but allows drawing only parts of the image, clipping it, etc. This packs the used part of the image in a square region in the atlas, then this is referenced in an AtlasTexture. It also means that it can be batches. This mode is ideal for optimizing performance, as mentioned above.

It does brute force clipping of triangles without relying on vertex IDs, or isolating edges to detect interior faces. Nothing was really meant for games. This led me to write a custom one for Godot, with focus exclusively on performance. The current implementation is really simple.

One of the big potential bug generators with any kind of game dev is when we take player control away from the player. We could let them clip through each other, but that often looks hideous. Further, there are potential griefing issues if players cannot clip through each other and decide to block off ladders physically.
