or...

do the inverse:
* wear a vr headset
* walk around the room
* have your positional data map via osc
* back to your DAW to interpret
* record / edit / post-produce results
* re-insert back into your game as recorded (static) goodness

exactly; if you hit a D# in your DAW (or song playing live):
* this would trigger a midi note(s)
* which is picked up by my listening game engine of choice
* said engine can then - choose - how to respond
(e.g. play a matching sound, tweak a shader, change a scene...)

- bet am older. : )

would actually rec a hybrid approach with game arch and perf-heavy modules written in #csharp or #rust (boo #cplusplus), and #engine-specific mentions w/ #gdscript

fyi, my current #vr character controller is written in #csharp but leverages #godotxrtools

find your weapon and wield it

Godot seems to encourage encapsulation by not exposing sub-nodes by default, so I thought to do the same w/ "private" variables ("_"-prefixed)

Kenyoni's addon does exactly that: hides private variables when inspecting instances 👍👍

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself.
