Let's write a game in Scala Native, for Playdate!
Let's write a game in Scala Native, for Playdate!
It's a tiny console with very limited hardware and a 1-bit black&white screen. Having a well-documented C API, it's a perfect candidate for playing with using Scala Native! What could go wrong...Turns out, it's quite challenging, especially for someone mostly working in the safe haven of the JVM.
In this talk, I'll share with you:
- What I've learned about Scala Native as part of this journey
- Problems I've stumbled upon on my way to run SN on an unsupported platform
- Hopefully, a demo on the actual device. If I don't figure it out by the time of the conference, at least we'll have a game in the official Playdate simulator :)
In my talk I will guide you through a deployment of a complete AI-based web service using Besom, Scala SDK for Pulumi.
In this beginner-friendly talk we'll try to find out using the power of Scala and functional programming techniques.
Join me for a fun and possibly opinionated talk about the state of Scala and other JVM languages.
