# CORE Framework
|
|
The CORE Framework aims at simplifying development for developers writing their code in the Godot Engine, version *4.2*.

## About
|
|
The CORE Framework is written in GDScript (for now, see [#14](https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/CORE/issues/14)) and acts as the base for your games and applications. It includes a logger w/ crashhandler, scene management system, downloader, miscellaneous stuff and much more. \
|
|
Read more about CORE [here](https://core.staropensource.de/about/).
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
You can read CORE's documentation at [core.staropensource.de](https://core.staropensource.de)
|
|
|
|
## Contributing
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
You need the following things to contribute to CORE:
|
|
- the latest Godot Editor version (at the time of writing `4.2.1`)
|
|
- knowledge of GDScript
|
|
- knowledge about unit testing and [Bessere Tests](https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/BessereTests), our unit testing framework
|
|
### Setup
|
|
Execute this in your terminal:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /your/project/directory
|
|
git clone https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/CORE.git
|
|
cd CORE
|
|
git checkout develop # Don't work on the stable branch
|
|
git checkout -b <your username>-patch-1
|
|
git remote add upstream $(git remote get-url origin)
|
|
git remote remove origin
|
|
git remote add origin "https://<your username>:<your access token>@git.staropensource.de/<your username>/CORE.git"
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now start the Godot Editor and import CORE.
|
|
### Code style
|
|
We use the following code style for CORE:
|
|
```bash
|
|
extends Node
|
|
|
|
# Please set the type for variables. If a variable can have multiple types, use Variant or Node
|
|
var some_string: String = ""
|
|
# No value is also valid, unless the type does not accept null (for example integers)
|
|
var various_types: Variant
|
|
# Please set the containing type for arrays, unless an array can contain multiple types
|
|
var some_array: Array[String] = ["some", "string"]
|
|
# Dictionaries must be nicely formatted
|
|
var dict_of_fruits: Dictionary = { "fruits": ["apple", "banana", "orange"], "good_fruits": { "apple": "Tastes good, available pretty much everywhere", "orange": "Nice." }, "bad_fruits": { "banana": "Does not taste good." } }
|
|
|
|
# For duplication example, ignore
|
|
var nodes: Array[String] = ["abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl"]
|
|
var node_abc: Node
|
|
var node_def: Node
|
|
var node_ghi: Node
|
|
var node_jkl: Node
|
|
|
|
# This is illegal
|
|
func _ready() -> void: pass
|
|
|
|
# Please set the return type for functions
|
|
func some_function(test_string: String) -> String:
|
|
return test_string.repeat(5)
|
|
|
|
# Please, please avoid code duplication. Here's a nice example of what to avoid and how to fix it.
|
|
func duplication_bad() -> void:
|
|
node_abc = Node.new()
|
|
node_def = Node.new()
|
|
node_ghi = Node.new()
|
|
node_jkl = Node.new()
|
|
node_abc.name = "Test node 1"
|
|
node_def.name = "Test node 2"
|
|
node_ghi.name = "Test node 3"
|
|
node_jkl.name = "Test node 4"
|
|
add_child(node_abc)
|
|
add_child(node_def)
|
|
add_child(node_ghi)
|
|
add_child(node_jkl)
|
|
|
|
func duplication_good() -> void:
|
|
var node_num: int = 0
|
|
for node_name in nodes:
|
|
# Use '+=' or '-=' to subtract something from an integer
|
|
counter += 1
|
|
set("node_" + node_name, Node.new())
|
|
get("node_" + node_name).name = "Test node " + str(node_num)
|
|
add_child(get("node_" + node_name))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note that you may find old code which does not yet follow these code style guidelines. If you find any, please fix them or report them, thank you!
|
|
### Committing
|
|
Simply use `git add .`, `git commit -m "<a good and meaningful commit message"` and `git push -u origin <your username>-patch-1` to push your changes. Don't forget to create a pull request once you are done. \
|
|
If you don't want to do everything from the command line you can use [gitui](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui). It's a good and easy to use tui git client which I ([JeremyStarTM](https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM)) personally use and like. You can't do everything from gitui though, so please keep that in mind.
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
CORE uses [Bessere Tests](https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/BessereTests) for unit testing. Bessere Tests is a dead simple unit testing system for Godot also developed by the StarOpenSource Project. \
|
|
To run all tests, execute `/path/to/godot.binary --headless -d -v -s --path . addons/besseretests/src/cmd.gd` in your terminal.
