Want to learn how to make games for the Playdate, but don't know how to program? No worries - in this video I'll go over basic programming concepts for complete beginners like variables, operators, and functions. I'll be teaching Lua, one of the languages you can use with the Playdate SDK. This is for people who want to use the Playdate SDK, and is not a guide for Pulp. If you want to learn Pulp, I have some videos for that on my channel as well.
