For a rapidly moving scene, an ordered dither is probably more appropriate than an error diffusion based dither. Faster to render as well.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s not E ink, it’s a Sharp Memory LCD https://sharpdevices.com/memory-lcd/ Memory LCDs have fast refresh rates while also being persistent like E ink. They’re also more expensive.
Exactly, they're not asking how the playdate works with an eInk screen (because it doesn't have one). They're asking how colesantiago expects to use a game console with a 5hz screen.
It plays the following games
- Crossword
- Chess

#14I would have gotten the Playdate if it had a color e-ink display, hoping the next one would have one if there are plans for Panic to do this. The benefits of color and also the benefits of low powered, long battery life with possibly the chance to change the color to black and white like original playdates shipped with. Doom on Playdate looks awesome though!
Have you seen the Playdate IRL? Its screen is very nice.

#15Do people use fast doom as the basis for ports on lower end hardware now? I was looking into it earlier and impressed how many improvements it brings.
Playdate is much more powerful than the original platforms Doom targeted. There’s a nice port for GameBoy Advance which is slower by an order of magnitude.

The screen is amazing. Backlight would be nice but the screen itself is great.

Dunno what Return of the Obra Dinn used as dithering but these videos of Doom running naive 1-bit clamping immediately makes me beg for it having the aesthetic of RotOD.

#20This is going to be great when they come out with the Playdate Color(tm) !
