# Godot GOL Compute Shader

![](preview_image.png)

Godot Version 4.4.dev.custom_build [7f5c46929] ~= 4.3

## Controls

| Keybind | Action |

|---      |---     |

| Space | Toggle processing |

|R | Reset Scene|

|Mouse Scroll Up | Zoom Camera In|

|Mouse Scroll Down | Zoom Camera Out|

|W, A, S, D| Move camera, 8-dir WASD|

Configurations that may interest you will be found on the Dispatcher exports, such as the update frequency and auto-start for processing. Higher frequencies may yield a less-desirable result.

Glow effect can be edited on the WorldEnvironment Node.

## Known Issues

- Cells around the corners become invisible. I believe this is the texture data becoming distorted after a certain size due to precision errors, or an error in implementation that I cannot find.

  - Constraining the camera to be static and render at approximately `1.4` zoom (or higher) will hide the issue out of the viewport, though cells will still be active outside the camera viewport.

## Credits

- Special thanks to [hamsterbyte](https://www.youtube.com/@hamsterbyte) on YouTube for the dot matrix effect and [the walkthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQhi2w1E0iU&ab_channel=hamsterbyte) for setting up the compute shader.

  - Code found in this repo is highly based on the implementation in the video, but converted from C# and adapted to my personal preferences.

- All assets were made by myself using [LibreSprite](https://libresprite.github.io/#!/), designed to be similar to the originals.
