Not something needed for when the game is going on, but for when your wanting to do the books. I just don't know about spreadsheets, and so find them to intimidating to even attempt to learn, lol.aramis wrote:Java works across platforms, but is clunky much of the time.
I'm so glad to see the game being sold actively once again! Now I just need to get all of my buddies to go out and buy it!!!
Yes, it would. The hard part is picking the right cross-platform display library.
Pick the wrong one, and it's unusable on any...
Seriously, it's pretty well cross-platform... provided you grab the correct libraries.
You're going to want to target 4-6 environments.
windows X
MacOS X
Linux
Chrome
iOS
Android
Another option, albeit pretty odd, is to use an interpreted environment.
Dos 6.22 software runs fine in DosBox
z-Code can be run on z-machines - and those are virtual machines which are available for the 25 top OS's... and more. There's even one for C64, Blackberry, PalmOS, and CP/M.
