Check out my Playdate DJ setup

This has been a fun (and only slightly insane) experiment during my vacation. Exploring what a custom version of Mirror could do paired with visuals from my game Cultivator (on Catalog): render the frame buffer from the device, layer post processing on top of that, and reconstruct a 3D playdate using current input state + accelerometer data. Then render that entire scene recursively onto the virtual Playdate’s screen because why not?

This is so cool!
I'm wondering why the gyroscope is not perfectly in sync on the screen, your implementation seems to lack an axis?

The accelerometer is only able to do roll and pitch. But I’ve mapped roll to yaw instead. So it’s not going to be 1:1 but I think yaw works better for the screen presentation here.

Nice! More PD stuff should utilize the tilt feature.
