    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

    Discontinued 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. :)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • 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.

  • love

    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
