Colin S. O’Rourke @colinsor.com · 02/10/2026Here's hoping I did not just spend all day re-inventing the wheel. Worked on an algorithm to determine if a 2d circle projected on to a 3d mesh is "in bounds" of the mesh. #Godot #gdscript 1180

Colin S. O’Rourke @colinsor.com · 01/09/2026Found a use for DrawableTextures in a recent tangent - feels like a pretty great way to dynamically generate tables as a texture. Anyway, points to anyone who can figure out what this Type Chart means ;) 000

Reposted by Colin S. O’RourkeRémi Verschelde @akien.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any. 441961469

Colin S. O’Rourke @colinsor.com · 16/09/2025Officially 100% Silksong - what a spectacular game.
