horrible, no love for linux. what a shame.

[combatking0]

There's a loophole - code it for Linux and if you have the ability to record footage of it, submit it as a wild demo video.

If you do something on Linux, i would be glad to test it.

Would be nice if you'd like to test my little framework for Linux...

I've attached the executable to my post, if you'd like to have the src itself, just contact me.

The binary should ask you if you would like to run fullscreen, just display the FPS and play a wotw XM as bonus , XM player is not done by myself.
It's compiled as 64bit binary with Ubuntu 14.10 and you shouldn't have to install any extra libraries like SDL.

Hi. did it, sent pm. We can continue there if you want.

[combatking0]

I've got a fairly good idea for my entry now. Time to see how many 3D points I can plot on screen in JavaScript without slowdown.
