Mac OS 15.5
SDK 3.0.1
Steps to reproduce
- Load pdx in Simulator
- Encounter an error within the game
- There’s an error in the console logs
- The simulator pauses
- Press “Restart“ button (or cmd+r, or Playdate > Reset from the menu bar)
Expected:
- Game refreshes from it’s initial, boot state
Actual
-
Simulator throws an error:
-
Need to go to `File > Open Recent` to perform the “reset“ instead
Here’s the console log output - I placed an error early in my game to reproduce:

I am a hybrid with lua & C.
Here’s my Makefile:

I am building with:
pdc source tutorial.pdx
And yes, my game is still in a folder call “tutorial“ cause I have been too lazy to change it
