The display itself isn't anywhere near finalised yet, but it's just going to be something for kids to play with, messing about with angles & velocity. One thing I might do is repurpose an old reprap printer to prodice a moving cup to catch the ball, we'll see how it works out time-wise.
Anyway, re the display I decided to install Raspbian Lite (no X) and use the framebuffer. Although this is new to me (I'm more of a microcontroller guy) in a few hours I've managed to get something to draw a line across the display, just a for loop changing the RGB values for the moment. Using wiringPi timers the process takes <1ms which I'm happy enough with (this is in C not Python).
