This is great to see more resources being made for the Playdate. It is such a fun little console and the games made for it are such a breath of fresh air I hop

I hope Panic is able to either retrofit or make a v2 with a backlight. I realized how low the contrast on the screen was after my cataract surgery and seeing details in some of the games becomes near impossible in less-than-ideal conditions.
- msephton 3y agoThe Sharp Memory LCD screen is opaque, unlike most other LCDs, so can't work with a backlight. It could work with a front/edge light but the results are not what you'd hope for.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoHow does the screen compare to the original Game Boy, or even the Game Boy Pocket?
- mattl 3y agoMuch much better than both.
- Doxin 3y agoAs far as I can tell it works if you've got basically any amount of light at all, though it might involve tipping the display around until you catch a reflection at the right angle. It's more E-paper-y in looks than LCD-y, though the reflectivity is fairly unique.
