Using Rust to parse Godot .tres files and walk the resource graph

The article details the technical challenges of parsing Godot's .tres resource files using Rust, explaining how Asset Hoard v0.1.13 now properly handles these files by walking the resource graph to maintain dependencies. It covers the complexities of the .tres format, which appears simple but contains numerous edge cases involving resource references by both path and UID.

Background

Godot is a popular open-source game engine that uses .tres files to store resources like materials and textures, which often reference other resources through complex paths and UIDs.
