Ten Great Software Packages for the Raspberry Pi
IN THIS CHAPTER
Downloading and playing games
Discovering educational software
Creating art and music
One of the best things about the Raspberry Pi is that you can easily download so many software packages over the Internet and install them. In this chapter, we give you some pointers to ten software packages to get you started.
Before you start, issue the following command in the shell to make sure your software cache is up to date:
sudo apt update
The software you run on your computer is as much a matter of taste as the music you listen to, so we hope you use this list as a starting point and then make your own software discoveries. For a full explanation of finding and installing software on your Raspberry Pi, see Chapters 4 and 5.
Penguins Puzzle
Penguins Puzzle, shown in Figure 19-1, is a 3D puzzle game in which you’re tasked with safely escorting a penguin to the exit without letting it fall off the iceberg and into the freezing water. You use the cursor keys to move around, press Z to zoom out for a wider-angle view, and press R to reset the level. The game has 50 levels to test your mettle.
