Is it possible to access screenshots from our game?
From the docs:
" About the Playdate filesystem
Behind the scenes, there are two directories your game has access to: the root of your app bundle (read-only), and a Data directory unique to your game (readable and writeable) where you can store your game’s saved state or other data."
That's a no right?
Thanks
Afaik, it's a no.
That said, you can always roll your own screenshot capture with playdate.graphics.getDisplayImage() or getWorkingImage() and save the bitmap to your game's Data folder.
That's correct, currently screenshots are only accessible by putting the device in disk mode and opening the /Screenshots folder. Way back when we had a screenshot gallery program in the system folder but it got axed before we shipped, for some reason I forget.
On the Playdate development roadmap is a permissions scheme that allows games to ask for access to more of the system, and this seems like a good use for that. I've got it filed in the issue tracker, hope we can make it happen some day!
