Dustin (of Playmaker fame) noticed that when you call, say, drawLine with the XOR color set, it turns transparent pixels opaque. I agree that it's not the expected behavior so I'm going to fix that. Easy, one line of code. But! That breaks our API contract--technically we should be preserving backwards compatibility, checking the SDK version the game was compiled against and giving the previous behavior if it's from before the change. Now that fix is a lot more than one line of code, and possibly has an impact on performance.
Since it's still early days for Playdate does anyone mind if I go ahead and make this change? Should we provide a separate color like kColorXOROpaque
that provides the old behavior? We can hook that up in a way that preserves the old behavior for games compiled pre-1.1, it occurs to me now.. But maybe it's better to leave that out if it's something no one would use.
