Shadow prototype free for a while
Prototypes for Playdate » Devlog
The prototype “Shadow” I made in 2020 is available for free for a while.
It demonstrates two things:
- high frame rates (30Hz to 300Hz)
- flashing alternate dither pattern to achieve a single shade of grey!
The left ball has the shadow trick, and appears to become more “round” and “solid” the higher you push the refresh rate. The trick is passable full screen at 50Hz, becomes convincing around 100Hz, and gets better from there. Works best on hardware or on slow displays (so, for example, the latest MacBook Prohas a display that is too fast for this but my external monitor works a treat)
Here’s to more people experimenting with shades of grey on Playdate!
