Update to Godot 4


Hey!
I recently updated the code to use Godot 4.2. You can find the source in the downloads section, on GitHub, or in this post.

Tech-wise, I also changed all the shaders to use the same consistent color system (an array of vec4's), which required a whole bunch of rewriting.
I wanted to update the web version of the generator as well, but unfortunately it seems that Godot 4 .2 has very slow web loading times right now. I experimented a bit with the Godot 4.3 beta version, and that seems better. so new features will likely be coming to the web version of the pixel planet generator by then.

A new feature I'm planning on is to have rings be available for all planet types. Let me know if you want to see something else as well.

Thanks to everyone who is using and/or supporting the generator!
Cheers!

Hey, I'm currently not planning on supporting an apk file for this, but thanks for the suggestion.

Awesome! So many fantastic updates.


In term of other requests. I feel like a speed option would be awesome. Choosing the number of frames is cool, but maybe speed is a little easier to wrap your head around when it comes to exporting as a gif.

Ah, that's a pretty good idea actually, would be more intuitive. Thanks!

cool!

i got a bug!

cant change export as gif settings in android because keyboard doesnt pop up. motorola edge (2022). any tips? it goes full screen and i think thats part of it

Ah , first bug lol! Seems the same for my phone as well. Is this something that used to work? Because I haven't updated the web version yet.

You can still technically use the up&down buttons on the side of the input, but that's obviously not desirable. I'll look into it.


Edit: Seems like something that's pretty fixable. I'll add it in the next update.

I just wanted to thank you for your work! Fyi, you made a bunch of researchers in an astrophysics lab gather up and stare in awe at generated planets for quite some time when I discovered your tool!
