@louie Hey I think that since you can deploy QT5 on the raspberry pi, you could build Pencil2D for it using the source code and QT5. No one’s done it before, but it could work. You might need a raspberry / linux (ubuntu) brew though.

I found these articles on the subject. Hopefully they can help and give you some ideas.

Take care!
