Guidelines for contributing

Thanks for your interest in contributing! Before contributing, be sure to know about these few guidelines:

Follow the GDScript style guide.
Use GDScript static typing whenever possible.
- Also use type inference whenever possible (:=) for more concise code.
Make sure to update the changelog for any user-facing changes, keeping the changelog format in use.
Don't bump the version yourself. Maintainers will do this when necessary.

Design goals

This add-on aims to:

Provide an easy to use, yet performant LOD implementation. Like in Godot's core design, usability is preferred over absolute performance.
Be easy to install and integrate into any project (no C# or GDNative required).
Scale to hundreds of instances on mid-range hardware (ideally, thousands).
Work with both the GLES3 and GLES2 renderers.

Non-goals

For technical or simplicity reasons, this add-on has no plans to:

Integrate automatic LOD generation. This would be better provided by a third-party add-on (preferably using GDNative for performance reasons).
Support Godot 4.0 as that version will offer a built-in LOD system.
