It works fine, except..Games will always crash. Using LynkWLogic, I think we need some kind of DirectX Drivers. EDIT: Logo Discuss. « Last Edit: October 21, 2007, 05:53:46 am by LynkW » Logged

It's also a lot easier than C++ too (which is odd, because most C# tutorials seemed to be aimed at people leaving C++) Mono.net is a linux version of the .net framework, so should run on Ubuntu, right?

Python's NOT a Java derivative. It has some things in common though.

Python's WAY easier than C#, and faster/better supported too.

Stencyl probably won't come out for a while, and you can't do nearly as much in it as in Python.

In terms of difficulty, Python is around the level of Blitz BASIC. Download Python and the Pygame module, and you'll be able to quickly and easily make games that aren't tied to any company or proprietary product.

Wine...
Wine has it's limits.
It *can* do DirectX, and it's constantly getting better.

I concur. It's getting bloody brilliant. Also, doesn't this imply that the development of Wine will become a lot easier soon?

That's good to hear.
