It’s based off this wonderful little tool by Jeremy McAnally https://github.com/jm/toybox

Starting on a #Python port of Toybox for #playdate dev packages so I can experiment with new features including C extensions and luacheck support.

I had completely forgotten that even tough the #Playdate screen is 1bit, source artwork can use 3 values: black, white and transparent… #themoreyouknow 🌈

Update! I wrote the player class and she hooked it up to the button testing code.

Poke Crossing… the game my daughter wants me to make using her own artwork has officially moved from #cocos2d to #playdate.

GitHub is my social network…

Random Red Sector logo sighting…

Looking somewhat legit! Tons of optimizations left to do but that’s the fun part where you start learning about the hardware.

…and we are sining like a vilain. Next step, make the slice size adjustable.

Got string rendering working. This is not using a font in the API but rather an image table so that I can slice it anyway I need later.

First we need an old #amiga font…

Let’s do a sinescroll today! #playdate

Testing my little Makefile tweak to easily add multiple extensions to a #Playdate project. Playbox2D from Dustin Mierau and my modplayer. Two lines in your project and boom!

Pre-production PSP and a test UMD from Daxter, the last game I worked on… until now! 😁

First release of modplayer is out in the wild… long ways to go to make it useful but you gotta start somewhere. https://github.com/DidierMalenfant/modplayer

It is SUPER rough around the edges and I have no idea what real world performance would look like right now but it lives! #Playdate #amiga #soundtracker

Another awesome little tool, online this time, to dither your artwork when developing for #playdate https://potch.me/demos/playdither/

The one bonus I often add is a test in the build script for any local changes to the code base. If so, I add a postfix to the build number like -dev or -dirty to indicate that that build does not comform exactly to the commit. That system has the advantage to work across repo branches too, you don’t have to worry about build number collisions when merging.
