Re: Doom on Playdate
#2I 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!

Unfortunately I assume it’s pretty cost prohibitive for an e ink display with a decent refresh rate. At least one good enough to play games on.

How does e eink screen work on a game console? The playdate screen is at least 30fps (and can actually refresh faster), even the fastest eink screens can't work at this speed without ghosting, and I don't want slower full refreshes while I'm playing a game.

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.

#6Do 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.

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.
