boing boing! #playdate

Having a lot of fun building rooms lately. I certainly have to keep my own "playtesting" time in check!

Preview of upcoming #playdate demo level Removed support for sky for now to remove a huge perf bottleneck (and using #quake sunlight settings to the max!) note: captured on device

#pico8 experiment of the weekend, ported: towardsdatascience.com/a-quick-and-... (credits Mole5000 for link!) was interesting to bang my head against Python slicing semantic 😱

#playdate snow! update on it’s way to fix crash on Chamois 😙

a bit late to the party, but #playdate snow! should really be nominated in almost all categories of the 2025 Playdate Community Awards 😜 (ok maybe not Best Puzzle...) Vote here: tinyurl.com/playdateAwar...

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...
