Do you know someone who can test your games if you don’t have a play date?

@@Baj-7 did you read the troubleshooting steps on the GitHub page? It means that the PlaydateSDK is not found at the path you put in your environment variable. When you check your documents folder, do you see a PlaydateSDK folder? It might've been installed in your OneDrive documents folder instead?

Having a problem, everything is working, but whenever my player health dwindles down and an enemy tries to give the final blow, the game freezes. I thought maybe this was an issue with the fin function, but my spikes work fine.
@SquidGodDev18 күн бұрын
@@jrenkiewicz5000 usually that just means there's just a small typo or capitalization mistake. Might be hard to track down, but just check the code that you think could be related. You can also press F12 to open up the console when your game is running, and it might give you an error message that points you in the right direction.

@@juliannewatson3298 Are you using the template from the video? The template I linked in my reply is a seperate template - you should download that template and follow the instructions in there instead. Since you're using a mac and not a windows computer, you do not need powershell.

The games you made would be good for a Gameboy or Gameboy Advance system I also think there is even a way to make text-based games on the Playdate. I have a few text-based game ideas online, but hopefully I can turn them into a video game soon. I still have my Gameboy Advance, and I barely bought a GB300 a handheld game system that has a lot of classic retro games some work but others don't. I might buy the Playdate one day.
