Developer gets 3D game running on tiny handheld with no graphics chip

On July 22, 2026, developer Cristina Ramos posted video of a 3D first-person game demo running on the Playdate, a tiny black-and-white handheld with no graphics chip. Ramos said she built it after being told it was impossible. The footage shows textured walls and realistic 3D depth, all processed by the device's main chip.
