Running the Game

See instructions in the project page to run the game package in the playdate or simulator.

Dev Setup

Either manually run the pdc compiler and the simulator, or use VSCode as interface for git, code and launching the simulator.

1. Download the PlaydateSDK to run the simulator and the compiler.
   https://play.date/dev/

2. Set environment variables

   (Optional) to run the compiler from the terminal

   e.g. on ~/.bashrc:

   # Playdate
   export PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH="$HOME/stuff/PlaydateSDK"
   export PATH="$PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH/bin:$PATH"
   

3. Setup VSCode

   • Add the SDK Path to the settings in the .code-workspace file

     "settings": {
         "playdate-debug.sdkPath": "/Users/stuff/PlaydateSDK",
     }
     

   • Install VSCode extensions

     • Playdate (midouest.playdate-debug) - package the game and run in the simulator from the IDE.
     • Lua (sumneko.lua) - syntax highlighting and language support for Lua.

   Open the project folder in VSCode. Press F5. Go!
