Now I know why @asad3ainjalout was so pro-Pi about community support.
I got Dajjal’s Minions working last night on the console. But with several problems:
- PyInstaller couldn’t build an executable
- Gamepad drivers seem to be missing
- Full-screen is broken (half off the visible display)
- Game runs really slowly (apx. 30-50% of actual game speed)
The latter is by far the most significant; I also noticed that running the game eats up 80% of CPU across all four cores. I thought this device had an awesome GPU – perhaps Pyglet is not able to take advantage of it on this box?
I’m a programmer, not an engineer. I don’t know how much of this I want to investigate and/or try to fix. I’m not a C/C++ person either. This is now (sadly) a low-priority project, because it seems like it didn’t play out well performance-wise; the monthly DG/MG project is higher priority.
