Install DDNet on Raspberry Pi

DDNet

DDRaceNetwork is a 2D cooperative platformer experience. Work together with up to 64 people and push your way through maps.
You will see the best and worst in your teammates when they save you from certain death or leave you behind in the dust.
We've developed DDNet for over 7 years now and made it greater than ever!
It has been free-to-play and free-to-win since development started and will always stay free.
It's also open source, so everyone is invited to help improve it with great new ideas!

To run: Menu -> Games -> DDnet
To run in a terminal: DDNet

If you want to host an online Server you have to activate Port Forwarding in your Router Settings.
You have to create a Port Forwarding with the protocol udp and the Port of your Server (standard is 8303)

Fortunately, DDNet is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

  1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
  2. Use Pi-Apps to install DDNet.

Compatibility

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Bookworm.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
DDNet will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
