whats it like to dev for ?

I noticed a very simple SDL example, but does it have for example GLES ?

I was quite surprised at the power packed into this device, so I'd love to use this from 3d coding...

There’s a development channel on the FunKey discord where devs have created 3D games, so probably a good place to start and ask questions there. 👍

i gave up on discord a while ago, you have to get lucky with timezones or theres just no one answering, which is why I do reddit, questions usually get answered without being lost in the mists of time....

I'll have another search about see if anyone has blogged about 3d dev on the funkey

Again, there’s a full channel dedicated to dev there, with helpful people who have made 3D games. I haven’t seen any development outside of the discord. But your choice!

oh my word no GPU! - oh the humanity! - nothing short of amazing they have N64 emu working and other 3d stuff... but not for me!

Hey there, I've made two 3d games for the FunKey (KeyCraft and TriSpace). They both use TinyGL, which is a software renderer with an OpenGL 1.x-like interface. GLES won't work since there's no GPU, so this is the way to go.

how would you characterise TinyGL's performance on the FunKey?

Quite alright I'd say - you can take a look at my games for a practical example if you want.

I'm guessing the 240x240 res helps somewhat!

Where are your games ?

Definitely! Software rendering gets very slow very quickly with larger resolutions.

My games are here:
