- Python and Cookiecutter are required to generate projects using this template.
- VS Code and the Playdate SDK are required to develop projects generated from this template.

Example
$ cookiecutter https://github.com/midouest/cookiecutter-playdate

If you want to download the latest version of the template, execute cookiecutter https://github.com/midouest/cookiecutter-playdate again. Cookiecutter will prompt you to confirm that you want to download the template again and overwrite the previous version.
You can change the default values with Cookiecutter's user config.
For example, given a .cookiecutterrc file in your home directory with the following contents:
default_context:
