Godot practice framework

A toolkit for creating interactive practices in the Godot engine.

Editing project configuration at build time

You can edit the project settings (the project.godot file) at build time by creating a script named diff.gd in the res://practice_solutions/ folder.

This is useful for removing or adding input actions, changing the project's main scene, or changing the project settings in the workbook and solution projects.

The project settings are used as the reference for the solution project, and the diff.gd script is applied when generating the workbook project.

For example, this code snippet removes all input actions from the workbook, except for the ui_* actions included by default by Godot.

static func edit_project_configuration() -> void:
    const INPUT_KEY := "input/%s"
    for action in InputMap.get_actions():
        if action.begins_with("ui"):
            continue
        ProjectSettings.set_setting(INPUT_KEY % action, null)
    ProjectSettings.save()

Troubleshooting

Instantiated scenes in the workbook project practices point to solution scenes

In some cases, the instantiated scenes in the workbook project practices may appear to point to the solution scenes instead of the files in the res://practices/ folder.

This can be due to a cache problem in the Godot editor. To fix this, you can try the following:

1. Close the Godot editor.
2. Delete the .godot/ folder in the project directory.
3. Open the Godot editor and reload the project.

You can also open the .tscn files of generated practices in a text editor and ensure that the paths to the scenes are correct.
