A $35.00 complete computer

Op, very nice work. I have a bunch of pi's as part of my Security, CCTV and Media/Entertainment systems at home. I love seeing what people can do with them +1

Well alrighty then.. that's.. pretty cool.

I'll stick with my rig though for all my gaming needs, processing needs, web-viewing needs, and so on though. Really don't have any idea what I'd ever do with one of these, but it could potentially make for a fun little toy. I mean, it's only $35.. I could see making some interesting remote-operating vehicles with them, or perhaps using one as the control system for a fully automated weapons platform - the Remote Sniper Rifle to shoot the groundhogs that turn my back yard into the green version of most of our landable planets....

It's not about making a gaming system. Raspberry Pi's are used by enthusiasts to create just about anything a computer can be used to do, and those things typically cant be done just by buying hardware and plugging it together (The op had to write the software himself to make it happen.) They were originally created so students/etc can all have a working computer for next to nothing - they also run on less power than a light bulb - but have become a platform for developers/enthusiasts to create. As I said I have built a CCTV (and cameras themselves) system using them, I also have one as my HTPC. They're about the size of a deck of cards and generally a very neat bit of kit to play with

David Braben is also one of six original trustees for the Raspberry Pi Foundation

People try to make just about anything with them, including the stuff you mentioned :)

OP, to be honest you lost me as soon as you mentioned "VideoCore" but damn, that looked perfectly playable to me!

Massive Kudos for your obvious programming skills which far surpass mine. :)
