Post-Mortem


A week-long game jam proved to be a good starting point for Pyro PD.  In the end, I was able to create something demonstrable, but there is still several items remaining to make this more closely match the original Pyro! screensaver.

  • Add circle explosion at the bottom of the screen where the firework is launched.
  • Have the firework arc through the air before it explodes.
  • Improve the background music.  Some of the tracks sound a little sharp or loud on an actual Playdate, so further experimentation is needed to balance things out.
  • Clean up the code.

For just a week's worth of work, I'm quite happy with what I accomplished, and this is an ample jumping point to continue on with this project.  It is not intended to be a large project, but something fun and educational, as well.
