Doomsday Engine / Server - Raspberry Pi 3

Is there a way to do this on Raspberry Pi 3? Would love to assembly some hand-held Pi units with 7" screens to do some killer net doom coop action on the couch.

Thoughts?

    That sounds very cool. :) I've been successfully running Doomsday servers on my Raspberry Pi 2. One has to build it manually with the DENG_ENABLE_GUI=NO option, though. If you need detailed build instructions I can add a page about it to the Manual.

    Doomsday doesn't support OpenGL ES yet, so the client can't currently run on Raspi, but I'm working towards addressing that in 2.1 and 2.2.

    Hey SkyJake! Any updates on this topic?

    Thanks!

    Yes, actually! :smile: I managed to achieve a partially-working OpenGL ES build while I was seeing if/how I could compile Doomsday for iOS. However, the bad news is that the way the rendering code has been written is not really GPU-efficient enough for proper gameplay on lower-end hardware. I already have the foundations of a redesigned renderer up and running, but getting it into releasable state is still a lot of work.
