[Bf-committers] game engine without visual

[Campbell Barton]

Hi. there are a few ways you could that this,

we have headless build option for ghost. - in cmake its WITH_HEADLESS,
this builds a blender which does not link with X11 (or do any
windowing).

You could look at enabling this build flag and then adding ifdef's in
the BGE to comment out drawing code.


Another way would be to use G.background (or some BGE variable
initialized from G.background) and have the BGE check for background,
this has the advantage that you wouldn't need  a custom build to take
advantage of the feature.
