This leads to code that is easier to understand and runs faster thanks to GDScript's typed instructions. The untyped declaration warning is now enabled on all projects where type hints were added. All projects currently run without any untyped declration warnings. Dodge the Creeps and Squash the Creeps demos intentionally don't use type hints to match the documentation, where type hints haven't been adopted yet (given its beginner focus).
RigidBody Character 3D
RigidBody character demo for 3D using a capsule for the character. Cubes as RigidBodies spawn in the map from above to show interaction with the player (jump on them, gently push them), which would be impossible with a KinematicBody.
Language: GDScript
Renderer: GLES 3

How does it work?
This demo uses a RigidBody
for the player, and StaticBody
for the level. Each has colliders, the player moves itself via
apply_central_impulse() in _physics_process(), and collides with the level.
The ShapeCast3D node is used to detect whether the player is able to jump
(i.e. touching the floor). Compared to a RayCast3D which is infinitely thin,
this allows for more reliable checking if the player is standing over an edge or
corner.
