Is Raspberry PI Supported? #11

Open F1LT3R opened 6 years ago

F1LT3R commented 6 years ago

Has anyone tried this on Raspberry PI? Does it work?

bsansouci commented 6 years ago

No idea. If SDL works on it, and OpenGL 2.1 is accessible, then... maybe!

Do you have a Pi? The best way to find out is to try. I don't see any reason why it couldn't at least be made to work. Reprocessing works on Linux, but I don't know of anyone who has been running on ARM processors like the Pi has.

I do have Pi 0-3 available. But I found a different library that says it definitely works with PI, so I'll probably go with that (unless it turns out badly).

https://www.npmjs.com/package/wpe-webgl

But I could be convinced otherwise...

The one thing I don't like about that library is that it's a Webkit port, so I'm dubious about how much of the browser code also comes along for the ride. I would rather make sure the stack I build on had a really good separation of concerns - but that's secondary to portability.

What's is reprocessing made of under the hood? Is it just C/++ bindings between Node and WebGL?

Your call! I would love if someone figured out if this ran on raspberry pi ;)

Reprocessing uses OpenGL directly when compiled to native, it has nothing to do with JS. When compiled to JS we use webgl of course. So not sure which concerns you’re interested in separating, but reprocessing will be miles thinner than running a JS JIT with webgl :)
