       | One of the best things about the Playdate, in my opinion, is that
       | it's fairly easy to have a C game running, and as you only need
       | to target a single hardware and resolution, a lot of modern game
       | development woes are removed.
       | 
       | This plus its limitation makes it a great platform to learn low
       | level game programming

         | but then with the switch they decided to adopt the same screen
         | dimensions as everyone else allowing them to play the same
         | games the rest of the platforms could. At this point, there is
         | really no difference between a steam deck, switch, ps5 or xbox.
         | They can all play the same games at the same output dimensions.
