Godot experiments

⚠️ Important: All the new experiments starting from march 2023 will target Godot 4.0. If you want to checkout 3.x project, head to the 3.x branch.

Some of my 2D/3D/VR/UI experiments in Godot. You can find some of my tutorials and experiments on my YouTube channel.

If you want shader specific experiments, head to my Shaders experiments repo

👍 Useful

[3D/android_maze_acceloremeter]:
- GLES2 was buggy for me, some texture were not shown
- Bullet physics has a bug when you change the gravity vector at runtime -> use Godot physics instead
[3D/robotic_arm]:
- GLES2 doesn't work correctly with IK, part of the mesh is not moved
- Bullet physics' constant velocity for static body doesn't work -> use Godot physics instead
- The IK target must be high in the tree than the SkeletonIK node, otherwise Godot freaks out
