Hello reader,
My goal is to create a server to facilitate communications between different computers for mulitplayer games (online shooters, board games, baseball, ect.). I am very new to linux and not very comfortable doing anything outside of a tutorial and there isn't much online about this. I have tried what I have found but it's either not updated for rpi 4 or not enough information for me to connect the dots since I'm beyond a noob in this.
I have an RPI 4 (4gb) I am trying to use to do this but I can't seem to run anything useful. I have tried using wine (64 bit), and wine (32 bit) for linux to run the .exe files (the tutorial I used was
) . I have also tried to run qb64 for linux on it to try to compile my programs directly on it. I would like to use the RPI instead of getting a small windows computer if I can avoid it.
My options (in my mind and I'm probably wrong) are:
*Copy .exe files to rpi then use wine to run them
*Create a .exe like program to run on linux natively
*Try to put windows onto the RPI then run .exe (unlikely)
*Switch machines (Last resort)
I can get into much more detail of what I have and what I have tried to do as I am not sure what will help. I know some people got qb64 to run on the pi but I couldn't follow their instructions.
