Hi everyone! Do you remember the video about detecting edges using the Sobel operator, which we enhanced by using Gaussian blur? One of the drawbacks of Gaussian blur is that it’s somewhat computationally intensive, which can pose some performance issues for our game if we want to apply such an effect in real-time. In this video, I will demonstrate a much faster way to blur our sprite or the entire screen.

    Easier said than done. You have to be an engine dev to submit changes, which is a whole other ball game. I spent a week trying to figure out an engine bug with the collisions once, and I couldn’t make heads or tails of the issue. If I started learning the engine code and submitting PR’s, I wouldn’t have any time to actually make games (which is what I want to do)

      @NocturnalMorning sure , now imagine the actual engine coders trying to fulfill every single person’s needs born of outrage at how godot is not nearly “professional enough” or “this is so much easier in unreal/unity”

      i mean they are doing a good job and while it is good to come up with new features or better interface recommendations its even better to do it yourself.

      game engines are hard , game development is hard. don’t make it harder for people to do either.
