# playdate4j
Java framework to create games on `Playdate` console. \
*ATTENTION: it is an experimental version, I don't sure that you should to use it in production purposes right now.*
## What inside?
- full support of `Playdate API`
- pretty good works in `Playdate Simulator`
- easy-to-use `Localization API` for system languages and any others
## C API support
=100%= `Logging API` \
=100%= `System Menu API` \
=100%= `Time and Date API` \
=100%= `Miscellaneous API` \
=100%= `Audio API` \
=100%= `Display API` \
=100%= `Graphics API` \
=100%= `Video API` \
=100%= `Input API` \
=100%= `Device Auto Lock API` \
=100%= `System Sounds API` \
=100%= `Sprites API` \
=100%= `Sprite Collisions API` \
BUT \
=000%= `JSON API` (skipped API, package [com.google.code.gson](https://github.com/google/gson) would be better)
## Let me explain what it looks like:
```java
public class ExampleGameCycle implements GameCycle {
private Graphics.LCDBitmap playerBitmap;
private Sprite.LCDSprite player;
@Override
public void start() {
playerBitmap = Graphics.loadBitmap("images/player");
player = Sprite.newSprite();
player.setPosition(lcd_columns / 2, lcd_rows / 2);
player.setImage(playerBitmap, Graphics.LCDBitmapFlip.Unflipped);
Sprite.addSprite(player);
}
@Override
public void loop() {
Graphics.clear(Graphics.LCDSolidColor.White);
int xDir = 0;
int yDir = 0;
if (Input.isButton(Input.PDButtons.Up)) {
yDir--;
}
if (Input.isButton(Input.PDButtons.Down)) {
yDir++;
}
if (Input.isButton(Input.PDButtons.Left)) {
xDir--;
}
if (Input.isButton(Input.PDButtons.Right)) {
xDir++;
}
float deltaTime = Game.getDeltaTime();
float dx = 100 * xDir * deltaTime;
float dy = 100 * yDir * deltaTime;
player.moveBy(dx, dy);
Sprite.updateAndDrawSprites();
}
@Override
public void stop() {
if (player != null) {
Sprite.removeSprite(player);
Sprite.freeSprite(player);
player = null;
}
if (playerBitmap != null) {
Graphics.freeBitmap(playerBitmap);
playerBitmap = null;
}
}
}
```
## Roadmap
- [X] full `C API` coverage
- [ ] well-automated app creation process
- [ ] using `Java-to-C` code conversion instead of JavaVM on device
## Requirements
- `Playdate SDK` 2.5.x version or higher from [official site](https://play.date/dev/)
- `g++` compiler, like [mingw64](https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases)
- `Java Development Kit` 1.6 version or higher
