Announcing the PP Design Jam! 🚀

For the first time in 15 years, we are going to accept external contributions to the game!

Starting today, you are able to submit new ships, bullets, joysticks, and more! ✨

The creation process involves modifying "meshes", which are essentially a list of coordinates and colors.

All the details are available at pewpew.live/ppdj2024

Hope to see many creations!

A new iOS version of PPL was released.

Unfortunately it contains a HUGE bug that makes it impossible to play using the touchscreen on all modern iOS devices, so another update is on the way.

The backstory is that I was using a library that is supposed to compute the physical screen size. I then use that size to position the joysticks in an ergonomic fashion.

Unfortunately, this library returns an infinite size for devices it does not know about.
I am not using that library anymore.
