    Bare metal Raspberry Pi 4 Dungeon Keeper clone

    I'm actually trying to make a bare metal game for the Pi 4 from scratch without acceleration. I'm not sure I'm going to succeed considering that ARMv8A doesn't have vectorized floating point or even commodities like non-vectorized floating point modulo or trigonometric functions, but on the other hand people made full 3D games with no acceleration targeting 100MHz Pentium machines, so if I fail that's going to be because I'm not good enough for this. So far I'm successfully rendering at 60fps at the official touchscreen's standard resolution, but that's just a single perspective correct untextured triangle without any lighting applied to it.

  • frt

    A Godot "platform" targeting single board computers.

    You can make godot games and run them on the raspberry pi just fine! At least 2D is working very well and 3D is also working but not feature-complete. Take a look at https://github.com/efornara/frt if you want to run godot games on the pi. I am currently working on a simple 2D RTS specifically made for the Pi Zero 2 and the performance is really good so far. :)

    Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  • Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi

    Unofficial Godot Engine binaries for the Raspberry Pi.

    If you are targeting the Pi 4 generation it should be even easier as they support vulkan and newer graphics standards out of the box. Take a look here if you want to find out about godot on the newer Pi generations: https://github.com/hiulit/Unofficial-Godot-Engine-Raspberry-Pi.

    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    I compiled this framework, love2d, on my pi zero, though it has an app-image now. I didn't *really* know how to program at the time so I never did anything with it, but the demo ran at ~80 fps on an HD monitor I had it plugged into. It's a great framework, basically lua married to SDL and a bunch of other libraries. Ease of lua, speed of C through Luajit's FFI.

  • GameDemo

    A multiplayer card game based on the mini-game Triple Triad from FF8.

    I made a standalone two player cardgame that might seem familiar to some that has been packaged as an electron app for armv7 Get it free here
