Connecting a Pi to a Pi?

[Brian Beuken]

hmm again I think I must not be explaining myself well.

the reaons game coders use target systems is to allow real time view of data while the code is running on the tagrget, as well as stopped debugging to step through code and see the results on screen.
This may not always be possible on a single dev system as your game/project is running and can obscure your view of the debug and profile data, as well as taking up room and cycles you want dedicated to your projecty.

For that to work, you don't actually need power, I compil all my SBC projects on target, even though I have access to tool chains, but once compiled and run, they take over the target system and only send debug data to my Visual Studio debugger and profilers. I use toolchains for Switch and Sony systems. And on the rare occasions I write PC work I rely on running my debugger on one of my 3 screens.
The IDE itself dosn't need to run on an extremely powerful system, just fast enough to run a decent eitor and display the debugger. A network connection is needed and at a good speed.

So again its not about power,  or speed of compile, but ease of use and debugging that makes it a much better way to work.

Its just a better way to work, here's my workstation as an example, Raspberry displayed on the top screen, and the Raspberry is fully in control of the ap, Centre screen stepping through code, left screen with various debug windows, and right screen some reference material..

You just can't do that with only one machine.. You can't even do that with 2 Pi's but at least with 2 pi you'd have the centre screen and some of the debug windows docked to your IDE  display.
