If it runs on Windows, what is the problem of promoting that game to end users? Aren't we distributing Firefox for Windows, OOO for Windows and Unikey for Windows? I still think that we don't need to be extreme in terms of platform -- esp. when approaching the masses -- as most of the people still use Windows. SFD is more of an approach to the masses, so I don't think installation on Linux is a very big deal. I don't know if you have Windows machines in AUF anymore, but in case you do, showing Free Software runs just fine in Windows is good too, people don't get scared by having the impression "oh this program is cool but looks like I have to do a lot of things to have it?" versus "ok... this program is cool, I'll copy this one to the usb flash drive and I will try to install it on my computer as soon as I get home!" Even if the game runs on Windows only, as long as it's open source, and it is fun, I don't think that is a limiting factor of the game. Notepad++ is another example of that kind of an Open source Windows-only software. It works, it works well and it is open source, so... we all promote using it. -- Huan Truong - xinhgai.net - U don't mess with KDE.
