Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Following the universal input handling effort, this works the same for every platform, as long as the touch move event coming from it contains the relative movement.
The same tracking algorithm used to track the mouse speed is used here, but tracking separately each touch index.
Fixes#3623.
We're not formally using C++11 yet so those trigger compilation warnings
(at least with GCC 5):
./main/input_default.h:122:30: warning: non-static data member initializers only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11
CursorShape default_shape = CURSOR_ARROW;
^
Note: We may allow those eventually (especially for non-int static const),
but most of current occurrences were inconsistent with all other classes.
See also http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html#member-init
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
Now generating mouse events from touch is optional (on by default) and it's performed by `InputDefault` instead of having each OS abstraction doing it. (*)
The translation algorithm waits for a touch index to be pressed and tracks it translating its events to mouse events until it is raised, while ignoring other pointers.
Furthermore, to avoid an stuck "touch mouse", since not all platforms may report touches raised when the window is unfocused, it checks if touches are still down by the time it's focused again and if so it resets the state of the emulated mouse.
*: In the case of Windows, since it already provides touch-to-mouse translation by itself, "echo" mouse events are filtered out to have it working like the rest.
On X11 a little hack has been needed to avoid a case of a spurious mouse motion event that is generated during touch interaction.
Plus: Improve/fix tracking of current mouse position.
** Summary of changes to settings: **
- `display/window/handheld/emulate_touchscreen` becomes `input/pointing_devices/emulate_touch_from_mouse`
- New setting: `input/pointing_devices/emulate_mouse_from_touch`
Fixes most current reports on Coverity Scan of uninitialized scalar
variable (CWE-457): https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/457.html
These happen most of the time (in our code) when instanciating structs
without a constructor (or with an incomplete one), and later returning
the instance. This is sometimes intended though, as some parameters are
only used in some situations and should not be double-initialized for
performance reasons (e.g. `constant` in ShaderLanguage::Token).
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Rename user facing methods and variables as well as the corresponding
C++ methods according to the folloming changes:
* pos -> position
* rot -> rotation
* loc -> location
C++ variables are left as is.
The ID property for InputEvents is set by `SceneTree` when sending the event down the tree.
So there's no need for the platform specific code to set this value when it will later be overriden anyway...
Enabled by default as in Blender, but can be disabled separately for 2D & 3D;
the core functionality is in Input so this could be reused or even exposed to scripts in the future
When using get_tree().input_event(ev), the engine will JUST send the event down the SceneTree.
However, you won't get any of the benefits of the Input singleton:
- No InputMap actions will be emitted
- The internal input state won't be modified, so methods like `Input.get_mouse_pos()` or `Input.is_joy_button_pressed` won't return the expected output after sending the event.
This is fixed by using `Input.parse_input_event(ev)` instead.
I guess we'll also have to update the docs to reflect that this is the preferred method of sending custom InputEvents.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
Now InputDefault is responsible for giving out joypad device IDs to the platform, instead of each platform handling this itself.
This makes it possible for c++ modules to add their own "custom" gamepad devices, without the risk of messing up events in case the user also has regular gamepads attached (using the OS code).
For now, it's implemented for the main desktop platforms.
Possible targets for future work: android, uwp, javascript
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
