031 - Zeit

I recently found out the Swift team got Swift running on the Playdate, the handheld exposes C bindings, so you can build for it in C, Lua, and now Swift via its SDK.

So I built something: Zeit, a little timer app for the Playdate. It's got sound effects, works great for Pomodoros, and it's written entirely in Swift. Not a game (yet), more of a utility, but it was a ton of fun to make.

Zeit is a free download. I wrote up how I built it and where to grab it here: https://lucas.love/projects/zeit

If you've got a Playdate and you've built your own projects for it, I want to hear about it, especially game dev resources, because a tiny Swift game is next on my list.
