Recreating a Puzzle Game on the Playdate

"A level editor just seemed like a lot of extra work" YEAH. I would know.

I love these devices that introduce deliberate constraints to the hardware. Because then min-maxing becomes a huge part of game making process, paving way for the most creative out-of-the-box thinking for tackling the short-comings due to these constraints.

That drop animation for the grid is really smooth!

Super cool - thanks for sharing.

[@greenice9986]

Dam this is impressive!

How’d you do that drop animation?? That Python script is really handy, too!

[@simplyindev]

When I loop through and create each grid square I pass in the index in the loop to the constructor. I just have a drop animation start when it's made but I have a delay value that's multiplied by the passed in index to create the staggered effect. Hopefully that explains it for you
