My first playdate game is written in rust!

[jcornaz]

Hey,

Last wekend was the play-jam-4 and I made this game in rust using playdate-sys and cargo-playdate!

It's very tiny, not so good and works only on device and linux simulator, But hey, I made it! Now I am impatiently waiting to receive my device to try it for real 😄

[boozook]

Wow! 😮 Congratulations!

I'll try it on my semi-dead one-of-firsts device.

How it was?

@jcornaz I've tested it on my device and it works perfectly! ❤️‍🔥👍

Good level design! I hope you'll continue it and also add some sound fx.

Unfortunately I can't test crank-rotation-to-lift feel because it kinda broken on my device and need repair, so I run the game on the device controlling it with Mirror or Sim (sim can send crank events).

Just one little unnecessary question - why you printing "OK" for every crank change?

I've tested it on Playdate with PdOs 2.1.0-release.160721 onboard.

So you're can fix your release description, remove this line:

NOT TESTED ON REAL DEVICE, as I haven't received mine yet :'-(

and probably add my video if you want it ;)

Awesome, thanks for the feedback :-)

Oh shoot, that's a bummer 😞. I hope you'll manage to repair it

I don't...

I don't see it, and I don't find a println! line in my code that would print "OK". So, I don't know where the "OK" you see comes from.

[boozook]

Hm... 🤔 Maybe it comes from Simulator or from OS? It should be investigated! 🤪
I've asked it.

I don't see it

I don't see any "OK" in the code too. But look at full video with console, here it is.

[jcornaz]

Yeah, I see... strange... I don't have those when playing with the linux simulator.

I don't go there often though...
