| Nice |

| Congrats Dave :) Now write a nice to follow tutorial on the process ;) |

| Well done, hope it does well for you. Just out of curiosity, do you plan to publish for Android/XNA/web? |
| ||
| No, for various reasons. First off there's a lot of text in the game and it just won't "work" on anything with a lower resolution than an iPhone 4 which rules out a fair chunk of Android devices. Second, HTML5 is very hit and miss, and Flash is insecure from what I've seen, so those two are no-go as well. Haven't really looked into XNA but I'm not sure how I'd go about handling a mouse-controlled one-button game on there. Maybe there's XBox mice... I dunno. |

| When you say 'Flash is insecure' are you worried about people stealing your game and hosting themselves? Nice work btw. I'm currently converting a lot of my code from BlitzMax. It's surprisingly easy once you get rolling so long as you don't need to use pixmaps or whatever. :) |

Curious, what about Android tablets and limiting the resolution by changing the manifest.xml file? http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html |
