I'm glad to hear it Josh.
I'll be interested to hear if it works well in a VM. I haven't heard if anyone has tried that yet.

that's fine. I could just run it in windows xp in a vm and it should still work fine. vm is virtual machine in vmware player or virtual box under linux.

Hi Josh,

The game is written in C# and uses the DirectX library.
C# can be run on linux using mono but I do not believe DirectX can be
used on linux at all.

This would require me to change to a new audio library.  In addition I
would need to figure out how a SAPI equivalent works on linux which I
have no idea about.

And I just realized the javascript hosting library I use is also windows
specific.

So in short I don't have any plans to port it to linux because it would
be a tremendous amount of work.

Sorry about that.
