Adam LissI wanted to add particles to my #Playdate game and, well, I went a little overboard and built a library. Meet glitterbomb https://github.com/manaliveadam/glitterbomb #gamedev #vfx
This is my first time making a library, so any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also if you end up using it in your game please let me know, I’d love to see!

michael@manalive This looks awesome!! Will give it a shot with a game I'm developing
@mspasta Sweet! Keep me posted, would love to see it in action
Shawn Walker-Salas@manalive hey this is super cool, thanks for sharing! By the way, don’t forget to pick a license and put it on there. I’m still waiting for my PlayDate.
@binarycrusader Ah thanks for the reminder. I started looking into licenses and was leaning towards CC0, but it looks like GitHub doesn’t support Creative Commons? Is there another one you’d recommend?
@manalive GitHub offers a set of standard choices but you can always pick your own not in that list. CC0 is fine if that’s what you want to pick. Personally I tend to choose whatever best matches the related community.
Tiny Yellow Machine@manalive @PossiblyAxolotl check this game and dev out if you haven’t yet! Particle frieeendssss 4 evrrrr
@tinyyellowmachine @PossiblyAxolotl Yes! It’s funny, I made glitterbomb because I didn’t see any particle systems for Playdate, then literally the next day one comes out.
I really dig the stylized look of pdParticles, and I could see it being a better match for a lot of Playdate games. I’m curious to try adding geometry particles to glitterbomb to see how it affects performance.
@PossiblyAxolotl @manalive We can never have too many particle resources! Particles make the world go ‘round!
