Cross Platform

Hello all,

On the TGB page it says:

Quote:Deploy to PC, Mac, Linux, XBox 360, Wii, iPhone or the Web!
.

When downloading the demo, I could download PC and Mac versions, but no Linux version. Where can I download the Linux version?

Thanks

--Amr

There is a Linux tab. Current Linux version is 1.1 so you will missing lot of changes on newer versions. But I´m not sure if there a demo for this or if this is only allowed when once you have purchased a TGB license.

Re-read your quote. It says you can /deploy/ to Linux. Its talking about which platforms you can make games for, not which ones you can develop on.

They've never had a demo for Linux. Right now, if you own the source, TGB 1.1.3 for Windows will most likely compile with the least amount of trouble (as I remember it). There were only a few changes to get it to work. Everything since then blew up on me as I didn't have the time or understanding to fix the C++ errors that gcc didn't like.

@Rob: If you can't develop on it, how are you going to deploy your game to Linux? You still need to build the engine source as it doesn't come with a pre-built Linux binary.
