Added validation module
Hopefully it works, because I didn't write tests for it. Heck I didn't even test it at all, gonna do that soon.

CORE Framework

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

Index

About

The CORE Framework is written in GDScript (for now, see #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.

Documentation

You can read CORE's documentation at 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, our unit testing framework

Setup

Execute this in your terminal:

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:

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 and Arrays 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. It's a good and easy to use tui git client which I (JeremyStarTM) personally use and like. You can't do everything from gitui though, so please keep that in mind.

Testing

CORE uses Bessere Tests 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.
