Another milestone achieved!

Godot on iPad debugging, both Godot and the target game can now run simultaneously and be interacted with:

@grahamboree everything is being done to meet Apple’s AppStore requirements. Just have a lot of polishing work left to do.

@MBoffin @grahamboree those rules were removed a very long time ago.

Look on the AppStore for Codea or Pythonista.

Can any console game devs give me some insight on the state of using Rust on consoles? My understanding is that Unreal has replaced some code with Rust, so it must be doable yes?

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@fuzzybinary @aeva I don’t, but swift should be very easy to support, as all consoles do llvm already.

Days after Apple learned its lesson, apologized, and removed its controversial "Crush" ad for iPad Pro, Samsung is here with another poorly thought out ad promoting Galaxy Tab with AI.

It is quite weird that before WWDC nobody is even talking about 😅 No wishlists, no requests, no angry users that wants more out of it 🤷‍♂️

All of the rage seems to be about the iPad. It's worth to note though that Vision Pro would benefit from iPadOS changes as well.

@kkolakowski we are still all learning the math to do funky hand gestures.

Your friendly reminder that criticizing iPadOS does NOT mean:

  • "dual-boot macOS"
  • "put macOS on iPads"
  • "you want to turn an iPad into a Mac"

It's completely fair to ask for more from iPadOS while keeping it iPadOS.

Anything else is a distraction. Do not let those distractions invalidate your opinion. But expect more and more over the next few days.

@jefflopes @viticci most apps will just be hard to use with untappable regions - just seems like a recipe for frustration.

@teilweise @cocoafrog @dasdom it takes some getting used to, but then you realize how useful it is, specially the new data-bound versions.

And alerts/sheets/popovers/messages all follow the same idiom.

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@dasdom @teilweise @cocoafrog they are scoped to the children of the call site.

For example, I override them in nested levels to get different capabilities.

They are quite awesome.

Inspired by @Migueldeicaza , I was thinking, again, about what would be required to support a full IDE experience on an iPad. And the propects are grim.

LSP is just fundamentally incompatible with iOS. And even with spec changes (which I have roughly outlined) that could be hard justify, it would still require enormous work from each server implementation to support.

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem a general purpose ide might be hard, but there are some possibilities out there (we could run a VM with Linux for instance)

But for narrow ecosystems it should be ok.

One of my concerns is whether the iPad form factor is convenient for traditional IDE development.

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem yes, a few ways to run VM stuff - something like libSystem is one option (it runs Jupyter, TeX, has its own C compiler), or iSH (I think this is a full Linux VM with Debian)

Migueldeicaza,
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social avatar

@mattiem sorry, not libSystem, ios_system: https://github.com/holzschu/ios_system/

Someone big doing this has been such an inevitable development but it has taken so long! With #WASM now included in standards and supported in pretty much every browser there is an opportunity to treat the browser as the target platform abstraction for high performance stuff like #games. And there is nothing the actual underlying OS can do to gatekeep that content without breaking the web!

@mogul they were both protective and divesting at the same time in that time frame.

The good news is that we got Wasm instead, so in the end, things worked out for the better!

@palmin am I wrong or using your working copy “external” repository would work as a way of accessing files and pushing to GitHub in my Godot port?

Is there something I might not be understanding that might prevent that?
