Godot 4

dulsi

Found out Fedora upgraded to Godot 4. Thankfully they still have Godot 3 available. I had to fix the Pigeon Ascent package to use it.

I tried out converting five projects, two of them mine. None of them worked after conversion. The errors varied. I got my two running after fixing some syntax that probably could have been handled automatically on upgrade. Learning Basic on Mars has some display issues. Pinball Disc Room runs but no collisions are occurring which makes it completely broken.

I had mentioned my concerns about upgrading prior to Godot 4 release and developers thought it would be easier this time than last. It still seems bad.

I was under the impression that 3.5 to 4 upgrade is especially bad as they re-wrote a large part of the engine. > 4 upgrades will supposedly easier again as the main rewrite is done now.

I was directed to this document.

I tried to explain we should do more compatibility. There is no good reason IMHO to force people to manually change from using subarray to splice. Or updating from File to FileAccess with minor changes to the api is a disservice to your users.

I catch godot became Godot 4.x on Fedora Rawhide suddenly on CI but at least Fedora didn't drop Godot 3 entirely as it was done by Manjaro.

Yeah, that certainly doesn't sound great.
