Open-sourcing a few reusable Play date #Lua gameplay systems from #Airborne! PD

Spent some time extracting and cleaning up a few reusable Lua #snippets from Airborne! PD for Playdate.

Mostly focused on:

  • animated sprite mechanics
  • object pooling
  • data-driven wave systems
  • per-frame sprite accounting
  • datastore persistence
  • lightweight rendering tricks
  • achievement persistence system

These are small engineering notes and reusable gameplay patterns developed while building a performance-conscious Playdate project on constrained hardware.

Thought some of them might help newer #Playdate #developers getting started with optimization and gameplay systems.

Hantavirus Doesn’t Spread Easily, but Officials May Be Downplaying Risks

The virus is clearly far less contagious than the coronavirus, scientists agree, but they have found cases where it spread among people without direct contact.

We learned from #Covid that aerosols can stay in the air for up to, and more than, 90 min.

Meaning infectious particles can remain in the air long after an infected person leaves the room.

Droplets tend to fall to the ground quickly. 6ft is safety from droplets not aerosols.

Droplets are not aerosols.

Have you read the article in the New England Journal of Medicine about the 2018-19 outbreak in Argentina or the opinion piece I referenced?
