Super impressed with the #playdate SDK. I'm a programer, but I've never done game dev. Had an idea for a... well more of a fidget toy than a game. An hour later and it's running on the physical device. Was able to merge two of the examples and find a few additional functions to call from the docs and ... done!?!
The Playdate devs have done *really* nice work. Docs are good, tooling is good, *everything worked*. Stellar first impression!
I wrote more about how great the initial developer experience is on #Playdate. And tried to think through *why* it feels so good. https://til.cafe/blog/2023/playdate-development-is-easy-and-fun/
@briandorsey . I have the same opinion. I'm a programmer, and I've tried many frameworks for game development (just as a hobby). I love how well-documented it is, and the development process is incredibly satisfying. It's nice to see your ideas come to life on such a special machine so quickly.
