It was one of my favorite games, the first alternate world RPG. Basically, each character was "Fringeworthy," so you could travel to alternate worlds. Where Hitler took over the world, or you had to marry a catgirl, or Cheetos were blue, or something like that.

I have a sprite (a regular line) and I wanted to apply a wave effect to it. this task tormented me. it doesn’t work properly. vec2 uv = uv0; float iTime = cc_time[0]; uv /= sin(iTime); o = CCSampleWithAlphaSeparated(cc_spriteTexture, uv); I don’t even understand what I see. It looks like a wave, but it goes beyond the texture area. I tried to normalize by passing the dimensions of the sprite (line) to the shader like this mat.setProperty("iRsolutetion", new Vec2(1.0 / this.node.getComponent(UITr

I want to know how I can retrieve the properties of a given component inside of a plugin to present in the inspector panel.

Yep, because the file format of the scenes and prefabs will be changed to match the engine’s needs when required, and developers don’t need to know the details, the engine will handle all changes to ensure it’s always compatible. So I don’t recommend deep digging into the file format. If you have special needs, you should go through it by yourself. ahahaha. good luck.
