Raspberry Pi OpenGL

Perhaps we’ve been concentrating too much on the hardware side of the Raspberry Pi. Sure, connecting the Raspi to the outside world through GPIO pins is cool, but let’s not forget we’re dealing with a full-fledged Linux box here. chris is doing his best to keep us in check with by bringing the power of OpenGL graphics to the Raspberry Pi.

Previously, OpenGL ES was only available for xorg but chris successfully added support for Raspbian. There’s a great physics demo chris put together showing off 128 spheres and cubes bouncing around a plane.

Right now, chris is looking for people to contribute samples and tutorials for making accelerated 3D graphics on the Raspi. You can grab all the code over at chris’ Git and contact him over on the Raspberry Pi forums if you’d like to help out.

oh yeah you'll need this ;)
