1. Can Pyglet be used to create applications which run from the console (ie direct to frame buffer) without X Windows to avoid overhead.
At this time, no. 1. Is Pyglet hardware accelerated on most computers? Yes, unless graphics drivers are doing software opengl. 1. Is Pyglet hardware accelerated on the Raspberry Pi 2? Pyglet doesn't run on the rpi, and i doubt it will work on the rpi 2. Those platforms only support opengl es. 1. Can you point me to any projects which use Pyglet so I can gauge performance? pyweek.org has a few projects written in pyglet that you might find interesting. 1. In a windowed environment can Pyglet get and set the window location so that when it launches the Window can be put back where it was last time? Yes, it is part of the window API. http://www.pyglet.org/doc/api/pyglet.window.Window-class.html#set_location On Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at 11:59:26 AM UTC-5, Noah A wrote: > > I'm in the early phases of trying to decide between Pyglet and PyGame.
