An unofficial Flipnote animation player for the Panic Playdate | playnote.studio
- Plays any Flipnote animation file created with the DSiWare version of Flipnote Studio, just drop the files from your DSi's SD card into your Playdate's storage!
- Optionally use the Playdate's crank to smoothly scroll through frames!
- Comes bundled with a bunch of sample Flipnotes kindly provided by from some of the best artists in the Flipnote community, such as Kéké, ぺきら (Pekira), MrJohn, bokeh f/2 (who cares), Bee, Melaina King (Akemi), and Scarecrow
- Available in 10 languages: English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, and... Welsh!
- Pretty UI with thumbnail lists, folder selection, settings screen, etc -- all accompanied by custom-made sound effects!

- All of the Flipnote artists who kindly granted me permission to include some of their works as sample notes:
- Simon for kindly letting me use his C PPM library as a base for the Flipnote decoder, and for answering my dumb C questions while I was trying to port it to the Playdate.
- Lauren and Ezekiel for additional C tips
- Rob and Austin from Sudomemo for helping me reach out to various Flipnote artists, and for the cross-promo
- Matt for helping me get into to the Playdate Developer Preview

I'd strongly prefer it if you didn't release a Flipnote player (for any platform) using the same name / branding / website without first contacting me. Thanks!
