Questions from Shareholders

maybank appointing tan sri zam who doesnt have financial background

Most questions are regarding Covid-19 impact to Maybank performance & its dividend policy.
Maybank CEO explained that it is hard for Maybank to gauge the impact but the dividend policy remains around 60% of net profit.
For all attendees of Maybank AGM will receive RM50 to their MAE for the postponed AGM and another RM50 who attended the AGM on 15th April. So who attended both AGMs will receive RM100.
According to Maybank, they don’t plan to reduce their branches like other global banks.
Maybank uses its huge database on analysis for credit risks and loan offering.
Another question whether Maybank plans to introduce its own bitcoins in which Maybank replies no.
A shareholder asks why Maybank appoints Tan Sri Zam as its chairman who doesn’t have any financial background. According to Maybank they need someone with technology background at board level to help Maybank in their digital journey.

Conclusion

Good insight on Maybank performance on the meeting and Maybank plans to do more digital solutions moving forward to mitigate Covid-19 impact.

Another good thing receive door gift of RM50 which this is my second time receiving RM50 for attending Maybank AGM.

Godot MultiPlayer Lobby Tutorial Part 1

I want to do a multiplayer games but it is hard to really understand how it works.

I did refer the official tutorial from Godot here. but I still can’t understand it then I read the code example of multiplayer bomber.

From the multi player bomber, I just extracted when a lobby is created by Host and then a Player joins the lobby.

I did this to simplify the GDScript so I can focus on understanding its inner working.

Besides I add additional print() to see which function is called first and understand their sequence. To know the sequence I added timestamp when the function is called.

Example:

print("game state - register player() ", id, " time stamp: ", OS.get_system_time_msecs())

1	print("game state - register player() ", id, " time stamp: ", OS.get_system_time_msecs())

I also rearrange the scripts into different folder to reflect its purposes and change gamestate.gd to GameState.gd

Print at Critical Functions To Detect Functions Calling Sequence

scripts/global/GameState.gd

print(“game state – connected_ok()”, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())
print(“game state – player connected(). ID: “, id, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())
print(“game state – register player() “, id, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())

scripts/lobby/lobby.gd

print(“game state – register player() “, id, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())
print(“lobby – refresh_lobby() Players: “, players, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())
print(“lobby – _on_connect_success()”, ” time stamp: “, OS.get_system_time_msecs())

A Player Joins As Host @ Server

When a player joins as host, below is the print output.

Launch The Application

Run the application via command line (I’m using Linux)
Then click Host

Godot Multiplayer Lobby - starting game — Godot Multiplayer Lobby – starting game

Host / Server output:

As you can see, no network signals (network_peer_connected & connected_to_server) are emitted during the network server connections.

Godot Multiplayer Lobby - print output — Godot Multiplayer Lobby – print output

A Player Joins as Client

When a player joins as client, below is the print output.

Godot Multiplayer Lobby - starting as player @ client — Godot Multiplayer Lobby – starting as player @ client

Host / Server output:

Godot Multiplayer Lobby - server print output when a player joins as client — Godot Multiplayer Lobby – server print output when a player joins as client

Player / Client output:

Godot Multiplayer Lobby - print output as player @ client — Godot Multiplayer Lobby – print output as player @ client

Print Output Timestamp Sequence

I rearrange the print out timestamp based on which comes first. Below is the result.

CLIENT
game state - player connected(). ID: 1 time stamp: 1618724339580 - netwoork (rpc to register player())
game state - connected_ok() time stamp: 1618724339580 - emit connection succeed 
lobby - _on_connect_success() time stamp: 1618724339580- from signal connection_succeed connect  hide 

SERVER
game state - player connected(). ID: 741208717 time stamp: 1618724339596 - netwoork (rpc to register player())
game state - register player() 741208717 time stamp: 1618724339597 - emit "player_list_changed
lobby -  refresh_lobby() Players: [p2] time stamp: 1618724339597

CLIENT
game state - register player() 1 time stamp: 1618724339613
lobby -  refresh_lobby() Players: [wanrazali] time stamp: 1618724339613

CLIENT

game state - player connected(). ID: 1 time stamp: 1618724339580 - netwoork (rpc to register player())

game state - connected_ok() time stamp: 1618724339580 - emit connection succeed

lobby - _on_connect_success() time stamp: 1618724339580- from signal connection_succeed connect hide

SERVER

game state - player connected(). ID: 741208717 time stamp: 1618724339596 - netwoork (rpc to register player())

game state - register player() 741208717 time stamp: 1618724339597 - emit "player_list_changed

lobby - refresh_lobby() Players: [p2] time stamp: 1618724339597

CLIENT

game state - register player() 1 time stamp: 1618724339613

lobby - refresh_lobby() Players: [wanrazali] time stamp: 1618724339613

Notes:
The timestamp here differs from screenshots as I did this article in few days, hence the difference in timestamps.

Sequence Diagram

From the “Print Output Timestamp Sequence”, I developed the sequence diagram for better visualization.

Key Take Aways

A put “remote” if the function is called by rpc_id() or any functions called via rpc
Functions within the same entity e.g Client or Server are executed first.
Function called via rpc() is executed after all functions within same entity is executed.
Even function triggered via emit signal is executed first before rpc()

Godot Input Event Example

I want to do a simple board game. Lots of things, I don’t really understand, example the input events. I read the Godot documentation on Input Event but they didn’t provide any project example besides the code.

For beginner, it is not straight forward. So I share the project Input Event example based on the Godot documentation example.

Steps To Do

1. Create Godot Project

2. Create New Input Map

– Click Project -> Project Settings

– Choose Input Map tab

– Find ui_right and choose the right key on your keyboard
– Then click OK
– Do the same with ui_left

3. Test it, by pressing the keys on your game.

– The text will appear on the output screen

godot - output screen — godot – output screen

Add Custom Input Map – Mouse Left Button Click

1. Go to project -> Project Settings

2. Type ui_mouse_left_button_click (you can give any name)

godot - add new input map — godot – add new input map

3. Click Add

4. Add left button event to the Input Map

godot - mouse left button click input map — godot – mouse left button click input map

godot – added mouse left button click

Godot 3.2.3 Inheritance GDScript Call Parent Function

Lets say you want to have two GDscripts where the ChildScript.gd will call ParentScript.gd.

From there, you want the ChildScript.gd to call its parent function.

Create Class Inheritance

You first create inheritance in GDScript by calling “extends”.

extends "res://gdscript-filename.gd"

#example
extends "res://Parent.gd"

extends "res://gdscript-filename.gd"

#example

extends "res://Parent.gd"

Call Parent Function . Use dot “.” to call parent function

#function example, where child calls parent function
.getText()

1 2	#function example, where child calls parent function .getText()

Download Godot Project Example

In this example, when “Press Me” button is clicked. The label will change to “Parent Child” where “Parent” is return value from parent function while child is from child function.

godot-3-2-3 inheritance call parent function

You can download here the project example.

Godot Button Signal Tutorial

I’m still new to games development using Godot engine.

I follow the button signal tutorial on Godot website. I created the project for easy reference for others because at the website they don’t provide the Godot project that you can immediately play.

Full GDScript from the tutorial

# Declare member variables here. Examples:
# var a = 2
# var b = "text"


# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
	#pass # Replace with function body
	get_node("Button").connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed")


# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
#func _process(delta):
#	pass


func _on_Button_pressed():
	# pass # Replace with function body.
	get_node("Label").text = "HELLO!"

# Declare member variables here. Examples:

# var a = 2

# var b = "text"

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.

func _ready():

#pass # Replace with function body

get_node("Button").connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed")

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.

#func _process(delta):

# pass

func _on_Button_pressed():

# pass # Replace with function body.

get_node("Label").text = "HELLO!"

Download Godot Button Signal Project

You can download the button signal Godot project here, if you want to run the tutorial.

In case the button signal tutorial is broken link for what soever reasons, I have converted the web page into PDF.

Hope it helps beginner games developer like me.
