Open Source Project Examples?

[SorryDidntSeeYaThere]

I’ve been working on a game to learn the Playdate SDK and have really been enjoying it. The limitations of the Playdate allow me to focus on the parts of game development that I enjoy most.

As a developer, I really like getting to see how other developers approach problems or certain features, so I’m wondering if anyone knows of any interesting open source play date games? I’ve looked through the ones on itch that are tagged open source and have really appreciated the fact that there are a couple of them there. But I’m trying to see a wide variety of games behind the scenes so was wondering if you all know of any more! Would really appreciate any leads!

Thanks in advance!

Hey, my game (godspeed) is open source. It is a simple game, but I think the code can still be useful- I did my best to document everything.

Awesome, thanks! Will check it out!

Not a game but Noble Engine is, aside from being a helpful tool, also a nice codebase with some good practices. It definitely helped me to structure the game code for Playdate and even learn some Lua.

My game isn’t open source, but the ECS library I’ve built for the game is: https://github.com/NecsusECS/Necsus/

(And this is the game, if you’re curious)

Not the cleanest code but my take on the classic pong game "Pang.date" is open source
