boids now have a bit more variation in their behaviour: when they step on the big white plane, they redirect to towards the goal, hang or climb on it, and go back to being just boids - this is done by temporarily converting boids into classical mesh and put them back once done
The small flickering at the end must be fixed...

the behaviours and the control of animations are better in #boids now :)
still some work to do to fine-tune speed, etc.

Quick demo of the integration of #ffmpeg in #godotengine : the player is fully multi-threaded (even the texture upload in gpu), meaning that reading the video has nearly no impact on the framerate of the game.
I've published a build including the player here: https://polymorphcool.itch.io/pozzo
I've tested it on windows and linux, it runs smoothly. Post issues here https://gitlab.com/polymorphcool/godot-ffmpeg or here https://gitlab.com/polymorphcool/pozzo if it's not working :)

i've finished the integration of #ffplay in #godotengine yesterday: C to C++ is really tricky, i kept the "goto" statements even if it's not good practice in c++. Result is really cool: the code is really efficient at managing the decompression and the display simultaneously!
And thanks to the #HAP codec that uses RGB and RGBA color spaces, the conversion of frames to textures is as fast as it can without hardware acceleration.

does anyone knows what ffmpeg is standing for?
i found "Fast Forward Moving Pictures Expert Group", apparently based on the definition of mpeg > "Motion Picture Experts Group"
not convinced...

just spent 10 hours to turn the code ffplay (the demo player of ffmpeg) from C into a C++. 3700+ lines of suffering! It's unstable at compilation, i continue the integration tomorrow.

just managed to cross-compile godot & #ffmpeg for windows!
quite tricky: compilers must be identical when i generate the static version of ffmpeg and when i build godot - hopefully, #mingw generates a lot of info helping a lot
it's not yet functional, but the hardest part is solved!
(idea here is to support any kind of video format in the engine)
