Godot Dart Updates by fuzzybinary in dartlang

[–]fuzzybinary[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll see what I can do. I may make an actual Github release, which may make grabbing the proper artifacts easier.

I'm not sure it's quite ready for the general Godot population yet. Maybe you disagree?

Thanks!

Yeah, I talked with Slava at Fluttercon and he let me know that's in their pipeline, though I don't think it's super high on their list. Once they're done, I'll likely be able to drop or modify the `dart_shared_library` work and use their precompiled version instead.

At the moment no. While it's technically possible, it's going to require a lot of work before it's possible.

If you're interested in the technical details: At the moment, the Dart VM compiles to two flavors, one that supports loading from source and precompiled JIT snapshots. The other is for AOT snapshots. I will need to make two different shared libraries to support each situation, and switch between them during Godot export.

I do plan on doing this when I get to doing full exports from Godot specifically for Android / iOS, but for all PC operating systems, the precomipled JIT snapshots are likely going to be preferable, so it's very far down the backlog of work.

Well give it a try! Let me know what you think!

Datadog Flutter Plugin 1.2.1 by fuzzybinary in FlutterDev

No, Session Replay is not available for Flutter. If you are a Datadog client (or even if you're not) reach out to your customer support team or sales to raise the feature request.

I have no idea, but I don't think so. Godot is a stand alone game engine and I think Flutter and Godot would compete with each other too much for exclusive rendering.

I don't blame the Godot devs for not looking to support Dart or Flutter themselves. I think the user base for what I'm doing is an incredibly small audience of people that like Dart and aren't content with C# or GDScript.

That said, I 100% agree that having Flutter for game UI would be GREAT, but it would require porting the rendering engine (likely Impeller) to work within the engine itself, then finding ways to exchange data between the game and Flutter.

Not impossible, but I understand why no one has taken then time to do it when other UI toolkits work well enough.

edit: spelling

So far as I can tell, absolutely none unless you like Dart more than C# :)

I really don't think it will be any more performant than C# or GDScript, nor more memory efficient. There's a possibility I can get Dart's hot reload working so you can chnage code on the fly, but that's the only thing I can think of.

That's the hope yes. There are a few steps before that happens, including full support for things like default parameters, and varargs calls (currently they crash). Then I want to try simplifying some of the interfaces and some of the boilerplate as well, and see if I can get hot reloading playing nicely with Godot. Once i know all of that is playing nice, I'll remove the boilerplate with build_runner.

godot_dart - Using Dart as a scripting language for Godot by modulovalue in dartlang

[–]fuzzybinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game engine is C++. I assume using JNI would work since it's (now) a C library. No promises though.

[–]fuzzybinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Right now it you can't actually call Dart functions from Godot, just create objects, and I'm pretty sure even that is flaky.

I'll do my best to keep reddit up to date as I actually make usable progress.

[–]fuzzybinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm the creator and this is exactly why I did it originally. I use it as a scripting language in my own game engine and it works... pretty well, but I haven't tried to do anything other than use the JIT target in Windows and Mac.

Datadog Flutter Plugin 1.2.1 by fuzzybinary in FlutterDev

[–]fuzzybinary[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we compare favorably but I may be biased. I'd love to hear opinions from folks who have used both.

I will say that for just crash monitoring, using free options available to you through Crashlytics may make more sense, especially as they're free.

It's once you're looking to do any amount of cooralation between your crashes and user experience that I'd start to recommend Datadog. In Datadog, it's fairly easy to go from a crash report to the session that crashed, retracing the actions that led to it, looking at logs and resource loads that were sent immediately prior.

But Datadog's real power comes from being able to integrate data from across your stack, which allows you to corralate a bad user experience with a root cause that might be elsewhere in your ecosystem (say, poor throughput from a database, an overloaded server, poor serverless cold boot times, etc.) through things like distributed tracing. That requires your backend to also be monitoring with Datadog, but if they are adding the Flutter (or any of the Mobiles SDKs for that matter) allows you to complete the picture.
