I just took the time to start porting the epic Mattemonster app to Godot 4.1, as Google thinks it is getting a bit too old.
You can tell that the Godot developers have done a stellar job. Up until now I’ve just fiddled with Godot 4, so I haven’t really done anything proper in it – until today.
The main porting task was to change to an object driven approach to signals, rather than the old string-based on. Great – because it catches so much more early on. The only tricky part here was that in order to pass along arguments with a signal I had to use the bind function. That was not really what the error message complained about :-)
Also, I had to re-add the translations into the project settings, and to handle some messages from the window manager differently (close and quit). I’m still not sure I got the latter right…
Now, all that is left is the UI styling, so I guess I know what I will be doing in the rain this evening…
