This video was great! You had a need, and you went forward to make something visually appealing. And it also still works! Good job, Atsu.

This whole channel is amazing! You deserve so much success with this! Keep developing and creating whatever calls to you! Your intuition seems to be on point and you deserve WAY more views than you get at the moment!

Transfer of level data via morse code 🤯 so freakin cool!

Love your channel so far! Thanks for sharing all this cool insights into your work with the playdate. Mine should arrive soon, so I'm starting to get ready developing for the playdate myself. One thing that came immediately to my mind when I saw your "morse code" data transfer stuff was compressing the leveldata, to make transfering the data via beeps even faster. Maybe you could use huffman encoding for that 🤔

@SquidGodDev Жыл бұрын

Glad you're enjoying the channel. Yeah I got a lot of feedback about doing some sort of compression algo for the data transfer - that's definitely a smart thing to do. I just ended up putting something quick together to try and get it working.

@SteveTheNerd Жыл бұрын

@@SquidGodDev Yeah, I imagine it’s much more important to work on the real features of the game instead of a minor performance improvement to the level transfer speed. 👍 I‘m definitely excited to see your next vid ☺️

I'm at a point in my life where if I ever need to make a website, I think I'd try to export a Godot app to web instead of learning modern webdev. You're doing powerful work, thank you for your service.

Haha never thought about exporting a Godot app maybe I'll have to try that at some point

Understandable choice but frontend is actually pretty easy and fun you should try it

@ModBros8434 Жыл бұрын

Looking great so far! Do you think it would be a good idea to add some data redundancy to the level codes, such as a checksum?

@SquidGodDev Жыл бұрын

Yeah that would probably be the next step

The device has WLAN, yet you used QR and morse code to transfer level data and then say you used dark mode on a web frontend because you are sane and rational?!?

@SquidGodDev Жыл бұрын

Haha well the device has wifi, but there's no developer API so I can't access it or use it at all
