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!

This project is under a permissive license, however if you wish to use parts of this repo in your own project, crediting the relevant people would be appreciated:

• Lua or web code, UI design elements, image assets or the 3d playdate model - James
• C Flipnote parser - Simon and James
• Sound Effects - Talon Stradley
• Credits Beat - madwurmz
• Flipnote Studio screenshots - Austin, Rob

If you wish to use any of the sample Flipnotes, you must get explicit permission from their authors.

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!
