New extension: <Skew>

[Carrotstudio0]

Description

This extension adds skew and shear transformation capabilities to 2D objects in GDevelop. You can distort objects by slanting them along the X or Y axis, which transforms rectangles into parallelograms. This is useful for creating visual effects such as perspective distortion, speed motion, wind effects, or artistic stylization in your games. The extension automatically converts between radians used internally by PixiJS and degrees for easier use by developers.

How to use the extension

To use the Skew 2D extension in GDevelop, first install the extension and add it to your project. Once added, select any 2D object in your scene that you want to skew. In the Events Editor, use the actions provided by the extension, such as Set Skew X or Set Skew Y. Enter the skew angle in degrees. Positive values will tilt the object in one direction, while negative values will tilt it in the opposite direction.

You can retrieve the current skew of an object using the SkewX and SkewY expressions. These expressions return the skew angle in degrees and can be used in calculations, conditions, or displayed using text objects.

Hello, I apologize for bothering you, but the problem seems to be strange regarding the extension name.
Artificial intelligence really helped me understand Pixi and applying that extension is relatively simple.
I built it based on an idea from a friend, who is an EG developer, and he also worked with me on programming it.

Using AI is fine as long as you can ensure that every single line of code in the extension is fine and understood by you, and as long as your messages are not a wall of AI generated text. Otherwise, this put the stress on us to see what's really hiding behind useless information (I don't care about descriptions generated by AI, I just want something that is simple, bug free and 100% correct. AI can help, but not generate a huge wall of text that makes me lose time reading it :)).

I literally don't know how to write a proper description. I do have some problems with my writing style in English. ...

I created this extension for my friend Mustafa (eg dev) because he asked me for help, and indeed I made it for him because he is a good friend. Therefore, I hope that what I have created reaches as many people as possible so that they can benefit from it. We are trying to make as many people as possible comfortable through our help.
