Problem

I wanted to start building the GUI parts of the game, but create it in such a way that I will have a network interface that I can later replace with the actual implementation.

What I did

I created a LoginClient that provides an interface to the login server functions. This client works in an asynchronous manner. Login requests gets queued, which then gets processed by a thread. The fun part was in the details, which I will explain here.

Threads in Godot

I feel this is one of the things that has been least documented in Godot's documentation and few people in Godot's Discord channel have knowledge of how this works.

The general code to create and run a method in a thread looks like this:

ViteFalcon

extends Node

var array
var size
var start = 0
var end = -1
var mutex = Mutex.new()

signal item_removed

// create a camera to set up the projection and model view matrices, and the subgraph to draw in the HUD
osg::ref_ptr<osg::Camera> camera = new osg::Camera();

// set the view matrix
camera->setReferenceFrame(osg::Camera::ABSOLUTE_RF);
// use identity view matrix so that children do not get (view) transformed
camera->setViewMatrix(osg::Matrix::identity());
// set the projection matrix to be of width and height of 1
camera->setProjectionMatrix(osg::Matrix::ortho2D(0, 1.0f, 0, 1.0f));
// set resize policy to fixed
