Launching Playdate Guides - The Everything-Written-Guide for everything Playdate Development

HI all!

I realize that there's already more than one guide out there... and having made a video guide (that's the last self-plug, I promise) , I remember the early feedback was for a installation guide in written form rather than video format.

I recently heard this suggestion again on these forums, so I went ahead and started the project: on Playdate Guides !

For now it will live in a Github repo, but likely will become an independent site if it works well down the line. Give it a star here: https://github.com/Franchovy/Playdate-Guides

I'll be creating a few guides per week at this rate, making sure that all the more complex parts of the SDK I've grown familiar with become easier to tackle! If helpful I'll be recording videos for those as well, but written guides are a good way to get more out in less time, hence my excitement around the suggestion.

I also think it will be important to showcase guides regarding common tools, such as LDtk, third-party libraries and engines, as well as different programming languages! All of which I need to familiarize myself with first before I can start posting, but they will get there eventually.

If you want to contribute, feel free to submit a PR with your own guides, or don't hesitate to contact me on Discord or visit in my virtual space!
