Custom shaders Gain control over your game’s visual style and performance by creating custom shaders. Shader programming allows you to manipulate lighting, textures, and visual effects, resulting in unique and optimized visuals. Be mindful of memory usage, especially on mobile platforms.

x is that, several times, sprites are separated in many nodes in order to be animated or assembled. If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. This has been added for 4.0 thanks to the new DirectionalLight2D node.

Import: Fix texture atlas generation when source sprite is larger than generated atlas ( GH-55094 ). Particles: Fix for double use of seed in random shader variables ( GH-55607 ). Physics: Fix test_move reporting collision when touching another body ( GH-54845 ). Input: Add Input.is_physical_key_pressed() method ( GH-55251 ).

This drastically reduces drawcall-related bottlenecks and can give massive gains in specific scenarios (drawing lots of sprites, big TileMaps, text rendering). Top: 10,000 Sprites with a randomized modulate and position. Bottom: 8 layers of a screen full of "A"s with two Sprites intermixed. Can you spot the difference?
