Generation 1 Tamagotchi rewrite for the Panic Playdate, written in Lua using the Playdate SDK.
I've fallen in love with Panic's Playdate, and like pretty much everyone who's touched the thing, I wanted to try my hand at game development! The Playdate has plenty of parallels to the original Tamagotchi (read: it's a cute handheld), so I chose to natively remake generation 1 for this device.
I mean, look how fun these are!
Look, the goal of this project isn't to create an incredibly polished game with well-written code. I am simply messing around with the Playdate and learning a little bit about Lua and game development along the way! That being said, feel free to open issues if y'all find something that's broken.
Thanks to Eric Lewis for the concept. Thanks to the Tamagotchi Wiki for providing documentation on how these things work. Finally, thanks to Panic for creating the infinitely fun Playdate!
