Let's write a game in Scala Native, for Playdate!
Let's write a game in Scala Native, for Playdate!
It's a tiny console with very limited hardware and a 1-bit black&white screen. Having a well-documented C API, it's a perfect candidate for playing with using Scala Native! What could go wrong...Turns out, it's quite challenging, especially for someone mostly working in the safe haven of the JVM.
In this talk, I'll share with you:
- What I've learned about Scala Native as part of this journey
- Problems I've stumbled upon on my way to run SN on an unsupported platform
- Hopefully, a demo on the actual device. If I don't figure it out by the time of the conference, at least we'll have a game in the official Playdate simulator :)
We managed to alleviate almost entirely the slowdown induced by Tapir in a web socket server. The journey towards this goal was quite insightful, and we would like to share it with you.

Join me in a talk empowering you to build Scala applications that not only excel internally but also deliver optimal experiences from an external perspective.
Drawing on 25 years of experience as a professional musician and record producer, this will be a beginner focused talk introducing the use of Scala.js and the web audio api for building Scala powered Web Audio Applications.
This talk is my slightly expanded version of that statement, and should hopefully understand what "Free" is, what purpose it serves and where it came from.
