[PATCH 0/5] Add superstarfighter |
|
Date: |
Sun, 17 May 2020 17:52:00 +0200 |
Hi,
this series adds SuperStarfighter¹, a small game built with the Godot
engine. I’m submitting it together with patches for godot needed to
build the game, and some other improvements. I built the game for x86,
x86_64 and aarch64 (can’t run it there due to missing 3D acceleration).
The main change to godot is building the headless binary, which is used
to compile game assets without requiring X. I put this into a separate
output because it doubles the install size. Compile time is also nearly
doubled, since most files get compiled twice.
If the longer compile time (in total ~20 minutes on an old i7, and
~80 minutes on an even older core duo) is problematic, this can be split
in two packages. The game depends on both versions to build and run
though. Thoughts?
I also enabled release build for Godot, removed an old workaround for
aarch64 (disabling threads caused an infinite loop when building the
game), and installed the icons to the correct location to be used with
the .desktop file.
Thanks!

Great. Thank you.

I think 80 minutes is not that bad. We can reconsider later.

Perfect.
I applied your patches with minor tweaks.
