The talk I did for the NimConf is up:
piped.video/watch?v=2uWnsu57…
It's somewhat an adv workflow, if you are new to NUE I wont recommend starting with it :P Although I go over an overview of the third person template in Nim :)

Just implemented a way to specify type traits in the NimForUE DSL when creating uStructs.
By marking the type with `WithNetSerializer` it will gen the TStructOpsTypeTraits below

One of the cooler features of Nim that many doesnt know about is static introspection. Imagine you want to know the parent of type at compile time. There is no built in function for it, but no worries, it can be implemented like so:
1/2
#nimlang #gamedev #indiegamedev
![proc parent*(T:typedesc): string =
let child = bindSym typeof(T).name
let parent = child.getImpl()[^1][1]
case parent.kind:
of nnkOfInherit:parent[0].strVal()
else: ""
#example:
type
Foo = object of RootObj
Boo = object of Foo
static:
assert parent(Boo) == "Foo"](/pic/orig/media%2FF8FflcsWwAAJQzR.png)
ALT proc parent*(T:typedesc): string = let child = bindSym typeof(T).name let parent = child.getImpl()[^1][1] case parent.kind: of nnkOfInherit:parent[0].strVal() else: "" #example: type Foo = object of RootObj Boo = object of Foo static: assert parent(Boo) == "Foo"

Take a look at the manual (nim-lang.github.io/Nim/manua…) the importcpp section. In the experimental one, there is the new stuff (i.e. virtual, etc.)
This one also exists: scripter.co/binding-nim-to-c…
Bindings for the std: github.com/Clonkk/nim-cppstl

hi I am looking for good tutorials for c++ ffi in nim, some basic stuff, later move to more complicated stuff

Seems like in UE 5.3 you can no longer use their bp details view thing in regular widgets. On the right, the code in NimForUE to have it back ;)

For those that dont know. Im working in enabling the same workflows in UE but with a twist: the final code is native ;)
#ue5 #nimlang #unity #gamedev
Speaking of hot reloading, what surprised me in Godot is that script changes are synced to your running game too. And it happens instantly. Which is kinda amazing tbh. Gotta iterate fast 🏎️

Using NimForUE to quickly build UMG's interfaces. Wondering if I should build a DSL

This is all it takes to create a native blueprint async node in Nim.
Of course you could easily make a macro that takes the params from the signature of the actual function that implements the logic, but thats for another day ;)

It took a while, but NimForUE just got multiple inheritance aka native UE interfaces working :P

There you go a native node in Nim:
(last one was the Bp's way, which is a bit convoluted IMO)
Needed to add support to a few more things, between them the class macro which allows you to define regular cpp classes and override their funcs.
#nimlang #ue5 #gamedev #PCG
Started to add experimental support to UE 5.2 so I can play with PCG.
You can create nodes in a similar fashion that you can create them in Blueprint but will add a native hook so it's easier to create PCG nodes from Nim

En cuanto al code no, son conjeturas mías xD Pero en general si usan reinforcement learning, lo comenta Sam aqui: piped.video/watch?v=L_Guz73e…

Just updated the NimTemplate with the following:

It was a difficult task but got a POC of Nim running at *runtime* in NUE (yes it will work in games). Which means not compile time at all.

A quick test of Nim driving Houdini right inside UE via NimForUE.
Yes, that's all the code that you need

Now NimForUE automatically binds the full reflection API (+ manually imported C++).
Did a stress test with the Lyra project and it generated ~165k modules. Being engine the largest that went from 60k LoC to 200K.

Some progress on supporting virtual fns.
The const modifier is fully supported, needed to introduce a constcpp pragma in order to do so. It's a bit bloated but hey, you can override fns!

Someone asked about an example of NimForUE async programming. It's pretty straightforward, the engine loop is connected to Nim's dispatcher so you can use Nim futures.
More down the road I will add support to UE dynamic delegates

New vid, I go over uStructs, HR them in blueprints, using them as variables for uClasses and deriving from FTableRowBase to create our own TableRow from Nim.
AFAIK first plugin that allows you do that!

Just added support for implementing existing interfaces in NimForUE.
AFAIK NimForUE is the only plugin that has it. For now only reflected interfaces but I expect it to work with pure C++ interfaces in the future

Blutilities are now supported too. Meaning you can create editor UIs
The coolest thing there is when you compile Nim, the editor auto updates itself without intervention.
Who want to builds UI with cpp or bp after this?

Video and Mac support coming soon!
Nim is about to get better UE support on Mac than C++ (as there is no LiveCoding)

NimForUE version of the Character on the ThirdPersonTemplate vs Cpp.
Roughly the same functionality and performance. The C++ version is 2 files and ~200 LoC

Just added support for constructors in the #NimForUE DSL. They behave just like in cpp, you can set your CDO props there
Will be adding more sugar into comps soon so you dont even have to define a constructor to init them.

If you are curious about it, the video is well done and right to the point (even though it left a few features out: i.e. effect system, concepts, etc.)

What about discussing a new native lang with full interop for UE? :)
piped.video/0b3ixaz2uOg
Tomorrow at this time (17:00 PM UTC) I'll be talking about #NimForUE at the @nim_lang conf. Session is prerecorded but I will be in the chat in case you want to ask any question :)
RT appreciated!

BTW current status is improving compilation times, but we got a way to automatically bind the whole Unreal API to Nim
