They do not calculate the same thing. When x and y are the distances on x-axis and y-axis, then:

distance is sqrt(x*x + y*y)

distance squared is just x*x + y*y, without calculating the square root, which is obviously faster.

Sometimes you need the actual distance. Then you cannot skip the square root calculation and you have to use the distance_to() function.

But when you are just comparing two distances, it doesn’t matter whether you compare the actual distance, or just the “squared” distance x*x + y*y.

Ah. I’m sorry for missing this bit.

The more issues raised, the better it gets. :flexed_biceps:

Updated Ballpark roadmap :umbrella_on_ground::sun_with_face::

  • implement leaner version of DynamicOutline2D with a toggle to stop merging the outlines: still very useful to draw behind solids
  • finish rigging + drawing video (“Rigoberto”), include a recording of the new DynamicOutline2D mode and publish
  • record testimonial video and YouTube short with all your contributions in it

Rationale

I have decided that, even though my SVSPolygonCacher will improve performance significantly (see profiler results below), it will not do as a general purpose plugin feature because it’s not that easy to use and it does not fit enough generalizable use cases.

In stead, when I find time and energy (and an actual demand), I will add another example scene so anyone interested can get the code this way. I will leave the draft pull request with the code open as well, just in case anyone finds this and is interested:

Release 2.26.1 - SubViewport Support

Is being reviewed for the asset library and -store. This release finally solves a long standing issue so you can now create and edit shapes inside a transformed SubViewportContainer > SubViewport .

This makes it a lot easier to do fun stuff like this (animated curve as ViewportTexture on your 3D mesh):

Get it early on github.

What did you make with Scalable Vector Shapes 2D?

This weekend I started my work on the testimonials people were so kind to share with me. At first I wanted to put them all in one big video, but I decided it’d be better to do a separate one for each.

First up: A Relaxing Island by Lodugh

Check out their work at https://lodugh.itch.io

More testimonials coming up!

Next up: Captain Dasia and the Viper’s Bane Boss

Make sure you try out this high paced NES-style godot game by Cubellia:

And learn how they used Scalable Vector Shapes 2D to animate the boss!
