About
The Playdate SDK gives developers what they need to make games for Playdate: Lua and C APIs, documentation, and a Simulator for local development, which includes profiling and more. It is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and requires agreeing to the Playdate SDK License before download.
The SDK comes with official reference documentation covering the basics of Playdate and its Lua APIs, the C language APIs, and best practices for designing Playdate games. The developer community also shares tutorials, editors, importable libraries, engines, templates, and bindings, along with tools made by Panic. A developer forum lets creators discuss their games, share progress, and ask about best practices.
Bug reports for the SDK can be submitted through the website.
