You did a job well enough to have me purchase your game. As an old-school fan of both Tamagotchi and Megaman Battle Network, this game hits the right spots. Your game making vlogs are very inspiring, and I would love to develop a game myself one day. Thank you for your content. ❤

Could you explain why the tilemap was affecting performance? I thought the whole point of tiles was that they are efficient! (Sorry my comment is a year late, haha)
@SquidGodDev 6 күн бұрын
The biggest effect on performance was really changing it from a more complex map to a simple one with 4 outside walls and a few square blocks that cut down on the number of collision rects that needed to be created, rather than a change from a tilemap to not a tilemap. Tilemap is probably more efficient in the complex shape case because it can optimize the number of collision rects being created by combining different sections, but the map was sort of big so it was still tanking performance.

If instead of setting an image/object as a stagnant image, I wanted it to become an animated thing (ex: A fireball travels with the bullet, and flickers different grays as it travels). How do I do that? Do I animate a gif and save gifs somehow? Also: How do I create new animations once a collision or action has occurred? (ex: The fireball hits the enemy. The enemy is knocked back a few pixels upon impact. Then a short 3 second fire animation that located on the enemy plays before disappearing.)
@SquidGodDev 19 күн бұрын
If you haven't checked out my video on sprites, you should look into that. Also, check out animation loops and the code examples at the bottom of the section. You can create a new sprite at the same location as the enemy after a delay with the animation. sdk.play.date/2.5.0/Inside%20Playdate.html#f-graphics.animation.loop.new

I spend a semester learning Python with one of the most needlessly-difficult (but extremely nice) professors....and in this video alone it's more or less covered everything in that class. From print, to Functions. It's crazy. Also: If you're watching this video and you're like "Ok, but when would I use this code and what good is it for me?" then I suggest watching an example game's code by SquidGod or anyone else. You'll see them directly set up the code and where certain things are used. Final tip: Generally for using Functions, there exists a "main function" which is the global operation. It's like where the program starts and goes through the motion of running. From there while naturally running, it'll stumble upon inputs that require certain other Functions to be used. Those "secondary functions" are more like new folders on your desktop, which contains other stuff it specifically does. What happens is something is generated and put in the secondary function. It goes through the secondary function, resulting in a new result, and spits it back out in to the main function to go do stuff. What you'll find is it's nicer to have a basic "main function," which contains dozens or hundreds of "secondary functions" and when you package your new game to run on the Playdate, it'll use all of the functions included to run the main game. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

Extreme thank you for this and the list. But question: You mention running in the emulator will "..not be representative of the actual Playdate's processing power..." aka you were referencing how the Playdate isn't as powerful as your native computer, and so a perfectly fine running game on a computer would run slow (or not at all) on the actual Playdate. My main question is: How do we gauge what is an "appropriate game" for running on the Playdate without actually putting it on the Playdate?
@SquidGodDev 19 күн бұрын
You can sort of guess if you have experience with testing on device and what sort of functions are performance intensive, but unfortunately, you won't really know until you test on a physical device. If you're talking about what genre is fit for a playdate performance-wise, you can get away with a lot if you're smart with some optimization tricks, which would again need to be tested on device. Good rule of thumb is that if it requires a lot of drawing of many things quickly to the screen, it'll run slow and you'll have to be creative with it.
@vjm3 19 күн бұрын
@@SquidGodDev What a quick response! Thank you! Yeah I guess it'll just take time learning the tricks or optimization coding. I'm looking forward to making a basic game, then building up from there. Any suggested resources or references for if someone wants to make a specific effect or action? Example: There are games which use a pseudo-3D effect where it appears something is going in to the screen. I'm assuming the game isn't programmed with an actual 3D model incorporated, but rather, programmed in a way where the pixels "grow" or "shrink" in size and change color, overlayed over others, and the appearance of 3D is made. I mean, unless I'm wrong. I'm literally just looking to create a detailed Tomogatchi clone (I saw your videos) that incorporates pseudo-learning so it appears the pet is "evolving" or "learning" from past mistakes. And also, I want to re-create a Final Fantasy X - like battle system where near limitless combinations of effects and moves could defeat enemies in different and unique ways. Thanks again!!!
@SquidGodDev 19 күн бұрын
@@vjm3 If you're talking about visual effect, honestly for Playdate games a lot of them just brute force it by the developer manually drawing the effect and playing back the images. As for resources, unfortunately can't think of any specific resource, but Google and the Playdate Squad Discord server are your best friends. Your idea of starting small and going from there is great - it gets easier to figure out harder stuff once you have more of a foundation to build off from.

I've not listened to our point of view on the price yet, but I'd like to put forth my idea of its overall open source approach. Most consoles require you to pass some kind of barrier to entry. And if the barrier isn't created by the console creator and having access to the SDK, it may be difficult to install the game or burn it to some cartridge. Playdate development and distribution is as easy as it gets and you don't have to search the "black market" to trade and install games... No Homebrew hacks. I didn't realize the Teenage Engineering had their finger print on this device!

Near 3:25 you define the initialize function as local then call it. Wouldn't it be more economical to create and call it anonymously? (function() --Do whatever... end)() But, I believe that if there are multiple scenes, I realize an initialize function need to be callable for each scene (such a function couldn't be anonymous). GREAT tutorial!!!
@SquidGodDev Ай бұрын
You don't even really need to make a function there - you can just call it directly too. It's just for demonstration purposes and to define the initialization step with a name. If you like using an anonymous function that's fine it doesn't really make a big difference. But, if you're ever calling a function multiple times (e.g. a large loop), using an anonymous function can end up being a lot slower than creating a local function and reusing it since you'll be creating a new closure each time which is slow.

I didn't know this console existed! I was looking at development stuff and you fell into my list to watch. I've been struggling with deciding what I wanted to code for. This looks fun as hell and Lua is a simple pickup. There's another console out there, but for Game Boy like games, which can be created with GB Studio. I that PlayDate is black and white and that it can be coded with Lua. I think I'm going to pulldown the SDK and play with that while I decide to buy the PlayDate.
