Q: What operating systems will it run on? will it run under Linux?
A: We don't know .... maybe ... if there will be someone that can 'translate' it to Linux

If that's the answer, it's already too late ... better would be to start programming in a portable way from beginning on. Use SDL instead of DirectX (do you use that?) for example. That saves a very lot of work

So there really isn't any harm done yet.

We'll probably end up using SDL or a similar library

well, actually, the FAQ is old, and we've scrapped the code, so...

But pleeeaaase: program it portable

Off course. I'm thinking to partially switch to Linux when I get a new pc (I still need Windows for uni and most games), so I want to see it as multi-platform as possible as well.
