Unity 4 finally supports Unix, so I’m looking forward to porting my Unity projects to RasPi…

Yeah, it has a quite capable GPU that supports OpenGL ES 2.0. I will try out setting up an OpenGL display in pygame which is also possible. Maybe that will fix some performance issues.

Does the PI support Python + openGL ?
Using openGL when rendering might improve the performance I guess.
I don’t own a PI (yet…) but managed to gain some performance on my desktop computer by rendering with Pygame + OpenGL.

Basically you’re right. Nevertheless using python (quite convenient) can cause some performance issues. I just tried my last LD entry which had some very slow animations on the pi unless everything else ran fine.

if by rather limited you mean more than twice the power of a PS2 or right around the power of an original XBOX with 8 times as much ram …
