A Bird and Beans remake for Playdate. This source code is the final 1.0.3 version of the game before it was removed from itch.io. The code has had all the copyrighted music stripped, but may be helpful for anyone for learning the Playdate SDK. This was my first Playdate project and many aspects of the code are messy.
The .pdx file for the v1.0.3 version can be found here in the git releases sidebar.
- Added settings option to turn of music or sound effects
- Added falling leave effects to game 2. This is a feature from the original game that I held off on implementing because I thought the extra sprites would have a performance impact, and indeed they did. So there is now an extra setting in the menu: leaf effects 'off', 'on', or 'auto'. 'Auto' keeps the effects on until there are too many sprites on screen where framerate starts to significantly drop and then turns off the effects. If anyone wants to help me improve performance on this front, feel free to reach out.
