this is super cool, but it's a long process to make my own documents. The instructions help a bit but I would prefer a video on it or if i could just import my .pdf file. Or even just a folder with all my png files.
Hey thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
The Playdate SDK unfortunately doesn’t support raw PDF or PNG images (at least with the Lua SDK), so I’m unable to add support for those. I do have it on my todo list to create some sort of app to do the processing automatically, but that’s not something coming soon.
A video tutorial is unlikely (from me anyway) as I’m not someone who likes to be on camera.
However! I can expand the instructions a bit. Where in particular are you having trouble?
Unfortunately the process is a bit technical, and does require some prior knowledge.
I’ve done my best to document the process with beginners in mind in this blog post. If you can tell me where exactly you’re getting stuck, I can try to add more details, but right now I’m not sure where exactly you’re stuck 😕
