Hey thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

The Playdate SDK unfortunately doesn’t support raw PDF or PNG images (at least with the Lua SDK), so I’m unable to add support for those. I do have it on my todo list to create some sort of app to do the processing automatically, but that’s not something coming soon.

A video tutorial is unlikely (from me anyway) as I’m not someone who likes to be on camera.

However! I can expand the instructions a bit. Where in particular are you having trouble?

i have trouble doing the stuff related to the Playdate SDK. Im new to coding and have no clue how to convert images to code. I need help with compiling the photos. I dont understand how to put photo on into Lua. I use VS code.

Unfortunately the process is a bit technical, and does require some prior knowledge.

I’ve done my best to document the process with beginners in mind in this blog post. If you can tell me where exactly you’re getting stuck, I can try to add more details, but right now I’m not sure where exactly you’re stuck 😕
