@povoas said in Creating a 2D game for RetroPie in Unity:

For my school project I'm trying to create an arcade using a Raspberry Pi with RetroPie in it. The second part of the project would be creating a game for said arcade. I've trying to find the best platform to create the game on but I'm still not sure which one to choose.
Love2D was reccomended to me by my teacher however I feel like a software like Unity with an UI would help me alot. My question is could I use Unity somehow and would the RetroPie run it, or is .lua/LOVE my only option?

Thanks in advance.

I just saw a video for a Unity3D game running on an RPI4 via Box86: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86

I haven't tested this but it sounds like the build process is you build your game for Linux x86, copy the deployment to the Pi, and then run Box86 on it.

I made a PR, maybe somebody can look it over?

@mediamogul yeah I just did, and still the same. I even tried copying the love files over from another install and still the same. I will have to test love on that Pi later to see if it's the same, but last time I tried it wasn't.

@Dominus I just installed love from the experimental menu of the setup script on my pi 3 on a fresh image and it runs fine (can't say the performance will be that great on the B+ though) mari0 should just install with the script. One caveat is that I'm an idiot and accidentally replaced the love logo with the 3do logo for the carbon theme but I've since fixed that. The original mari0 won't work btw as its outdated and incompatible with love 0.10.0. We use an updated branch for it
