I like that idea (I'm writing a game with GAMBAS). The RAM issue you subsequently mentioned might not be an issue, depending on gb3 and the distro's memory footprints. There are distros out there that use very little RAM. I just tested gb3's memory consumption with the world generator for my game it it uses about 70 MB of RAM just to load the project. While functionality might be limited on the Pi, it should be possible and would have the added benefit of teaching memory management. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@eightvirtues.com phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
