I've got to the point with Pulpino where I really need to test out the performance on an actual Playdate - the only problem being I don't have one yet!
Would anyone lucky enough to have a console be willing to test out the pdx for me?
I'm specifically interested in:
- General in-editor performance (due to drawing the HUD)
- Using the bucket tool, especially when filling large areas of a room
- Using the move tool
- Saving and reloading, especially after making changes in all rooms (using the move tool in each room would be a quick way of making sure all of the tile values have been stored)
I suspect the bucket and move tools may have problems. I really hope saving doesn't!
Here is a zip of the pdx: Pulpino.pdx.zip (156.4 KB)
Edit: A couple of kind people over on discord have tried it out for me. As suspected the bucket and move tools noticeably struggle, reportedly taking 3-5 seconds to process, which is unfortunate but not world-ending, and otherwise the performance sounds ok! I'll see what I can do to improve performance, although it might have to wait until I have my console so I can test first hand.
