Game Developer Tries Web Development (Devlog)

An update for my platforming game on the Playdate handheld. This is the 6th devlog in the series. This week, I've updated the website that you use to share levels. Enjoy!

Check out my new book "The Beginner's Guide to Lua for Game Development" and learn how to code using Lua!

I'm at a point in my life where if I ever need to make a website, I think I'd try to export a Godot app to web instead of learning modern webdev. You're doing powerful work, thank you for your service.

So excited for the game! Don’t burn yourself out 😅

[positivevibrations]

Transfer of level data via morse code 🤯 so freakin cool!

EVERYTIME I HEAR "FIGMA" I THINK "FIGMA DEEZ NUTZ" TOO LOL

[gummywormjim]

This whole channel is amazing! You deserve so much success with this! Keep developing and creating whatever calls to you! Your intuition seems to be on point and you deserve WAY more views than you get at the moment!

[AleMohamad]

This video was great! You had a need, and you went forward to make something visually appealing. And it also still works! Good job, Atsu.

[SteveTheNerd]

Love your channel so far! Thanks for sharing all this cool insights into your work with the playdate. Mine should arrive soon, so I'm starting to get ready developing for the playdate myself.

One thing that came immediately to my mind when I saw your "morse code" data transfer stuff was compressing the leveldata, to make transfering the data via beeps even faster. Maybe you could use huffman encoding for that 🤔

[ScottBaker]

Fuckin rad dude, that’s sick. Love these logs.

[ModBros]

Looking great so far! Do you think it would be a good idea to add some data redundancy to the level codes, such as a checksum?

[LolaliciousSmiley]

I have a bioinformatics class project where we're making a website. I'm glad I got to offload all that crap onto the one programming major.

> sneakily scans qr code from the video 😏

[Stiky_Piston]

Will you ever release the game to the public?

[tracythan]

Did you use html and cs for the website?

[OmegaTakenZ]

"It also sounds like a great Set up Tool to a Deez Nuts Joke"💀

[fedirkryvyi]

So… you work at Microsoft, right? I think I remember those badges 🤔

[LazoDev]

Try to make a game in GDevelop pls, just try for an hour and if you don’t like it, don’t.
But just try

[pranshuhat]

Try to learn...
... Animation in wick editor.
... Godot game devlopment

[Milanesium]

The device has WLAN, yet you used QR and morse code to transfer level data and then say you used dark mode on a web frontend because you are sane and rational?!?
