Yes, from what I've seen, they aren't. Now if only we had a game engine for everyone that was inclusive of other operating systems? Would one have to own a mac to even code/compile for it? Wait, Java works on everything right? But then, most audio games use TTS that other systems don't have, so java wouldn't work well with audio games on my mac. I gave my pc to my sister, so I'll have to find a VM. Anyways, perhaps BGT could do it, but I doubt Philip would want to expand into mac stuff, since everyone seems to think that windows is all there is. I know Draconis has made an engine that is inclusive, but that is only available for them. Devin Prater [email protected]
