# Hello Playdate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A minimal game built on the `play-date` bindings: a bouncing box, a
|
||
|
|
crank-aimed needle, button handling, a system menu item, and an FPS counter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build and run (Playdate Simulator)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the Playdate SDK installed (and the one-time
|
||
|
|
`Scripts/install-pkgconfig.sh` setup from the repository root done):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
./build.sh
|
||
|
|
open -a "$HOME/Developer/PlaydateSDK/bin/Playdate Simulator.app" HelloPlaydate.pdx
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script compiles the game as a dylib, places it in `Source/` next to
|
||
|
|
`pdxinfo`, and runs the SDK's `pdc` to produce `HelloPlaydate.pdx`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Device builds
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running on hardware requires the Embedded Swift + ARM toolchain pipeline
|
||
|
|
(see the repository README and Apple's swift-playdate-examples for the
|
||
|
|
Makefile setup). This example covers the simulator workflow only.
