Version 1.1.1 update - better power lifecycle & debug commands
Backyard Rain Soundscape » Devlog
This update improves the power event handling. The app normally disables the system Auto Lock, and when the device reaches a configurable battery threshold it starts a “shutdown timer” (just re-enabling the default Playdate Auto Lock). A few cases are now handled better. Specifically:
- If you reconnect power, the “shutdown timer” is cancelled.
- Fade out all audio roughly 30 seconds before we expect to be timed out.
The amount of rain intensity change when using up/down buttons is now 1/6th of the total range each press (it used to be 1/4).
I also documented the debug commands available when connected to Playdate Simulator, and these are printed to the serial console when you start the app:
| Hello curious person!
|
| Backyard Rain Soundscape supports several development & testing commands:
|
| i take a screenshot and save into: images/screenshot-EPOCH.gif
| b toggle battery safety mode
| d toggle debug status overlay
| ti: target intensity - from user input
| i: actual intensity right now, including offset from slow variation
| lv: light rain volume level
| mv: medium rain volume level
| hv: hard rain volume level
|
| In the Simulator, choose "Control Device with Simulator", then
| type one of the above keys on the computer running Simulator.
|
| Happy listening!
Enjoy!
