Now, we need to run the clone step: sudo hg clone There are a lot of files here, (over 500) so it will take just a few minutes to install everything.

Let’s start by installing: sudo apt-get install mercurialĬhoose “Y” for both questions and proceed with the installation. Installing PygameĪs I want to stay with Python 3 as much as possible, we’re going to install it with our Vbox image with the Python 3 build. Once you’ve updated the Host and Guest Port, click OK. Update the settings to reflect what I have for the open ports, (remember, this is Oracle Virtualbox… :)) Add a check mark for “ Cable Connected” and then click on the “ Port Forwarding” settings. At the top, click on Devices, Network, Network Settings. The first step is to first get out to all the libraries, as the ports the image is a bit locked down. Well, that doesn’t exist on the Raspberry Pi image and it really limits what we can do when it comes to the VNC build we play on the Oracle Virtualbox, (that’s a mouthful… :)) Get Outside Access

Another great thing about building games on the Raspberry Pi, is a built in module called Pygame. So one of the things I like to do is test out a lot of my python gaming code, (as far as for the coding and syntax) on my Oracle Virtualbox image of my Raspberry Pi.
