Q: Im getting the following error during compiling. What do I do?

> Executing task: Playdate: Build <

Command failed: pdc "c:\Playdate Dev\Cotton-master\source" "c:\Playdate Dev\Cotton-master\Cotton"
'pdc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The terminal process failed to launch (exit code: 1).

A: This means the environment variables have not been set OR the SDK has not been installed correctly.

Q: Why is my map rendered very big or small when I didn't set the renderScale? ?

A: Make sure you didn't name the tilesets the same but with different size. They are cached in the .pdx file. Example: If you have a tileset bw_table-16-16.png, then DONT add a bw_table-8-8.png.

To fix:

1. Rename the image
2. Correct the image paths in LDtk,
3. Throw away the .pdx file.
4. Build again.
