I have a really cool office, and for years have thought "I should make an interactive photo sphere of this place!"

Well, today I didn't feel inspired to work on any real projects, so…

@ChrisCube169784 @playdate It's gonna be a bit, but it will happen.

[paulstraw @paulstraw]

The pdlight @playdate alpha is getting very close. I just assembled the first fully standalone unit. No more external wiring!

[paulstraw @paulstraw]

@Guv_Bubbs @fnc12 @The3DPrintist @fnc12 I will be crowdfunding kits in the coming months. Check out the `#hardware > pdlight` thread in the Playdate Squad Discord if you want to learn more before then! https://t.co/9nrz6ygKn5

@prokane I use Lumix cameras, but any quality camera + lens combo should work fine. Stitched with Panorama Stitcher https://t.co/0XiMk9jKh1

In July 2022, the #Playdate Squad ran a community census.

It was a lot of fun, & @vogelscript did a kick-ass job making the data into an excellent summary.

Well, it's been almost 2 years, so we will run another one.

Look out for that in July!

Until then, a thread🧵

Did you catch the little board in the previous image?

That is the PDlight board.

It's the man in the middle between the battery, and the Playdate motherboard.

The reason for this board is to make it easy for other people to do this mod themselves. No soldering needed!

[Donald Bubbins Fraser | ☄Comet for Playdate @Guv_Bubbs]

Love your @playdate but struggle to play it at night?

@paulstraw has been working on a #playdate light mod called pdlight!

@drewclemcr8 Dunno about the audio version, but I just read Masters of Doom and it was pretty great.

[paulstraw @paulstraw]

Finally getting back to MarbleZone after last weekend's Ludum Dare. Working on a race level, this is the first of a few "challenge sections" I'm planning to build for it.

@drewclemcr8 Unless we’re talking a very large amount of very high-interest debt, it seems unlikely that cashing out the 401(k) would be a winner. Consider not just 10% early withdrawal tax, but that it will also be taxed as income on top of your salary.

@ianmaclarty I’m thrilled every time one of your screenshots crosses my feed. What an incredible look 🤩

[paulstraw @paulstraw]

@colin_k This is freakin awesome, great work! 🚁

I just submitted my Compo entry for @ludumdare 52! It's called Bad Apples, and you can play it now on @itchio! https://t.co/U9074cPOFB

Less than 11 hours left until the #LudumDare52 Compo deadline! I'm feeling pretty good about progress on Bad Apples. The core pieces are in place, I just have to add the loss condition and results UI.

[paulstraw @paulstraw]

Delicious, fresh apples being eaten by pesky worms!

Participating in my fourth Ludum Dare this weekend (third Compo). We're over 1/4 through the 48 hours, but I finally wrote an update post! Bad apples and worm brains! https://t.co/eKNXt1Ul0Z
