I've been wanting to learn Godot for some time now. Being able to develop on the iPad is supercool (for side-project game devs). In addition, you can also now run Godot on the Meta Quest (https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/godot-game-engine/771...). Also, as Xogot runs on iPad and VisionOS can run iPad apps, it might even run there (haven't checked). That's a lot of fun platforms for playing around with it.

Impressive, happy to see another touch from Miguel.

This is very impressive, and runs well even on an iPad mini 5.

I wonder if Redot [1] is going to fork this project, as well.

This is a project of Miguel de Icaza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza

I’ve been following the development of this via Miguel’s blog and mastodon, and as someone who is really interested in iPad development and app design I really want to try it out but I just don’t have time for another hobby.

I’m signing up and gonna try it out, but I feel like I’ll need to put more than an afternoon of dabbling to get anywhere interesting.

I am a bit surprised Apple allows it.

I am not really familiar with the apple ecosystem, but my understanding is that they frown on open execution environments, that is emulators, virtual machines, interpreters etc. and a system that lets anyone develop and load games sounds like just that.
