To explain the idea of how shaders work, let's consider a very simple shader for drawing a sprite to the screen. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands. Multiply by 2. Substract (1, 1). Shaders in Godot.

Drawing a Spine-friendly character means you also need to draw parts of images that are normally obscured, as the visibility can change as the sprite moves. Export formats - Spine exports animation data in its own, documented JSON and binary formats which are light and hence ideal for game engines, as compared to old frame-by-frame sequence.

When I click on a specific part of the screen video, regardless of the resolution of the screen or canvas, I want to always show a sprite at that x, y point. For example, if we imagine there’s a tree in the video, I want to display the sprite at the position where the tree is, no matter the screen resolution.

Do you have prior experience with other game engines? Around 4 years ago, I was learning how to program (in order to do natural language processing) when it suddenly dawned on me that I had probably learned enough to be able to make a game. Finally, Godot has better animation tools than other engines I have worked with.
