Title: The Rasberry Pi, expectations and future potential
Post by: Vordux on July 25, 2012

Me and a fellow coder colleague ordered our Rasberry Pi each. His has arrived before mine, so his is getting all the punishment currently.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of the demo scene in relation to what potential the device has.
I've seen a colleague have Quake3 running on it with (hacked) sound.

If anyone has one, what are you expecting out of it and what have you managed to squeeze into it so far?

thanks

I am using LXDE OS and I am using Geany. I managed to get Python working.

I am not sure about what other language that Geany IDE can do but it seem that it can do multi language such C++, C# and freebasic  :o :P

i've got a bunch of gfx projects i've wanted to write for a long time..

i'm making the engine and some tech demo's first under windows with an open gl es layer, then i want to update it to be portable, raspi will be a test platform for not only linux, but also to help me scale the effects gpu wise. i eventually hope to be able to develop on a windows box, but recompile for all sorts of mobile platforms/tablets ;)

also, as i have two, i have one i can use for xbmc and the like
