Bulk Tilemap placement rust ext

ZV9GAMES

Hello Everyone,

I started with Pacman, green original only, doesn't save, but it's playable.
https://zv9games.github.io/zv9.pacman/

I realized some missteps in the foundation of the setup. So Pacman 2.0, bigger maps, procedural generation, then single thread brick wall.

In enters SSXL-ext. https://github.com/zv9games/zv9.SSXL-ext

I built a custom godot from source for windows 11 for the demo which is not included.

If you know how the godot extensions work, with the plugin and .gdextension files, you should be able to get this going whether on linux, or windows on whichever godot4+ you are using.

Feel free to test it out, I'd love your feedback, or fork it. 🙂

The previous build that I left unfinished is https://github.com/zv9games/zv9.Aetherion, this is the exact same project under the previous name without the most recent updates.

Um, what is this about? The way you write this makes it sound like everyone immediately knows what you are talking about.

Toxe the single thread Godot issue? I found it to be a problem so I solved it. I wanted to share because making games is so fun. The maps I wanted to make for pacman1 above were inaccessible with the tile map modules available to gdscript. Even the TileMapLayer update wasn't enough. So I ventured out, and came back with a calculator for Godot's Tilemap issues. There it is. I have made the tilemap calculator, our 2D tilemap woes are now resolved. lol

Attached is a screenshot of the demo. Set your grid dimensions, and see how long it takes. I pushed it to 3 million, it landed in 4 seconds. With a little bit of rust setup, my fellow game generators can utilize the batch of modules with functions I've created here. Then all you would have to do is modify your set tile logic, and you get bigger, faster 2d maps. I'll be building the 3d version next year sometime.
