Starting with Godot 4.0, they now support GDExtension which allows you to basically write your own game code in C++ (and other languages), then have the engine import your code: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/g.... There is also a set of Rust bindings that utilize GDExtension too: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext.

They might be worth looking into.


Yeah, I've seen those and I'm happy Godot moves in this direction, but using these tools would steer me away from the "default" and "primary" behavior, I'd potentially face more bugs/awkward development setups.

It might be worth if I'm serious about Game Development and ready to invest time and effort into customizing the tools, but what I'm looking for is "out of the box" experience which will make it easier for me to solve problems that I face (e.g. if I ask questions more people would be able to answer/help), the tutorials/resources I find will be more applicable etc.

As others mentioned in this thread, having first-class support for a language isn't the same as providing API for plugins and custom scripts.

I wish Godot chose a real existing programming language instead of building their own DSL. Even Lua might have been a decent choice, although I hate the syntax.


I haven't used Scratch but I think Godot might be one of the easier engines to get into compared to Unity and Unreal Engine. GDScript (https://gdscript.com/) is a custom language created for Godot and is similar to Python so it will be more complicated than creating games with Scratch since you will be writing out code explicitly rather than dragging blocks together. GDScript is immensely easier to use than C# (Unity) and C++ (Unreal), though.

It might be worth looking at GD Quest (https://www.gdquest.com/tutorial/godot/learning-paths/gettin...) to determine if it's something your kid would want to learn and get into. As a developer, I found it very easy to start to get started with Godot versus Unity and Unreal so it might be a fun adventure for your kid to start learning :)


Turn Down for What seems to go well with a lot of songs: https://rave.dj/cBQ8koXg_09blA


Because it's one of the rare electronic songs that became popular whose speed is ~100 BPM (BPM = beats per minute in this case). That makes it compatible with a lot of pop and hip hop songs. Add to that the fact that it contains almost no lyrics (while pop songs contain almost no low frequencies) and you have a match.


I heavily considered purchasing a Lumia 950 when looking to upgrade my Android phone. Unfortunately, the community pretty much drove me away, not because they were toxic, but because they claimed the platform was dead and no one suggested getting into Windows Mobile 10. If Microsoft releases a new WM 10 phone with a fingerprint sensor and a decent set of specs, I might consider picking one up and bearing the "app problem". I like the fact that Microsoft updates the devices directly and I can go into a Microsoft store if I have a problem.


The HP Elite x3 has a fingerprint reader (also an iris scanner, like the 950 and 950 XL)


Was CBC not streaming through their app and website? I didn't watch the opening ceremony, but I was able to watch events through the app. I also do not have a cable subscription and CBC worked well for me.
