Is the version on catalog different?

D'oh. Found it under demos. Itch is is a little confusing how it separates blog posts from the main game pages.

How do you download ARTtOO on its own?

Hi, here's the pdxinfo:

name=Addled author=Clarity Games Ltd. 
description=Classic puzzling reimagined 
bundleID=com.claritygames.addled 
version=2.2 
imagePath=system_assets/ 
pdxversion=20000 
buildtime=740948320

So no buildNumber (different than version number)

Strange. Will double check, but I did open the zip. Anyway I did update it manually. 

I think I got the game just after the os update. Not had a chance to lay it in a little bit. 

Sorry for the slow response. What I meant is sometimes the score table would show the top 10 names, but with no scores next to them. This would fix on refresh.

Hiya, this won't automatically update by sideload as there's no buildNumber in the pdxinfo.

Got the catalog version, and it's great. The high scores list is sometimes a little wonky (like the scores may not be shown until the lists are reloaded).

It's fixed itself after playing another playdate game and then resuming. It might have had something to do with the tutorial screen which it tried to show me twice. Going in and out of the main menu didn't fix it and neither did toggling between pictures and numbers. Anyway, it's fine now, I'll take a picture if it happens again.

Did the numbers tiles always not have borders?

Heya, just updating now. Notice it doesn't auto-update via the sideload site as there's no buildNumber in the pdxinfo

Congrats on getting on Catalog. IS there any difference between this version and the catalog version (for instance does it have online leaderboards?)

Looks really useful!

Very interesting. 

Does itch / playdate have an API way to log in (or are credentials stored on the user's machine?). Presumably this would work on raspberry Pi? (PiOS = Debian). 

Might be nice to have a feature that just flags updates, rather than actually doing the uploading to Panic's servers?

Seems to be crashing with current firmware.

I'm rubbish at this game, but it scratched a real nostalgia itch. Why is it listed as windows/mac platform, btw?

I'm in! Good fun and I really like the art.

I've just updated to firmware 1.13.1 which gives a proper error message on the crash screen (typed by hand):

Run loop stalled for more than 10 seconds

  pc=0x08093034 lr=0x00000060

[C]  drawFaded()

wipe.lua:57

Also, if it matters, I have no save data for the game. (I've tried both version 1.2 and then 1.1)

I've now tried resetting the device with a pin in the hole for about one second and for about three seconds. Didn't make a difference.

the Playdate reset itself, but this is the only crash I’m having (and it’s a full device crash rather than just an app crash). I was hoping that crash log would be helpful.

1.2 crashes on load here.

50p says it was compiled with the latest (not yet released)SDK.

Hiya, I'm going to have a look at your app in a minute. Just wanted to say if you want updating via sideload to work properly/easily, you need to update the version and the buildNumber (even more important) in the pdxinfo.

Sorry, it was a while ago, but yes, probably. Fortunately that doesn't affect game data.

Hiya, your pdxinfo is a little funny. Your description says 'test' and the buildnumber hasn't been incremented so it's a (tiny) bit trickier to update via sideload. (I know it's just a tiny update).

Good game, though! :)

What's new? :)

Yeah, I don't think that guidance is super helpful. If people are updating the version numbers in the pdxinfo by hand, I don't see why the build number is any trickier to maintain. And the result of forgetting to increment it is the same as the result of not including it! Anyway, many thanks!

The PDX will work without, but easy updating via sideload won't work. It's weird they don't draw better attention to it.

Hiya, if you want sideloading to work properly you need to put a buildNumber (and a version) in your pdxinfo (and increment it every time you make a new release). Cheers!

Not sure, because it was a little while ago, but if you don't include an increased buildNumber each time you need to uninstall the game and reinstall to update it. Save data remains (which is nice).

Excellent. I'm always astounded when I find devs making games without even having the device. Good work!

Hiya, you should update the buildNumber in the pdxinfo to allow for easy updating through sideloading.

(just tried to sideload. The duplicate pdxversion stops it from working. I can fix this manually, but you should check your pdxinfo)

Heya, should I just download the 'with particles' pdx from now on (it has the same bundle id as the non particles version? The pdxinfo also has buildtime and pdxversion listed twice. The buildNumber should probably be updated as well to make sure it updates over the top of precious versions easily.

Other than that, just installing the game now! :)

Hiya, thanks so much for the update. Just wanted to say, there's no buildNumber in the pdxinfo, so no easy updating.
