How to Make a Simple Playdate Game
In this tutorial, I go through step by step how to make a simple space-invaders inspired game for the Playdate SDK using Lua. If you're a beginner, you should be able to follow along, given you've watched some of my other videos. I go over moving the player, shooting projectiles, collisions, spawning enemies on a timer, displaying a score, resetting the game, and adding screen shake.
Check out my book "The Beginner's Guide to Lua for Game Development" to learn how to program in Lua!
