Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been much involved in this thread - I've been playing a mafia game and it took up all my time. Anyway now I've seen the conversation you two have been having about Unity3d and looks very interesting and I would like to give it a try. The way you were talking about it gave me a brain wave that I might have had a game on my phone that was made with it, and sure enough when I started that game the first thing it said was 'powered by unity' or something like that. It's called 'Cubistry' and is essentially kind of like Mahjong with a cube. So just a few quick questions for you. 1) Does it work with Linux? Or Wine? I don't use Windows at all but may consider buying a Windows laptop again if it was really worth it, 2) you mentioned 'shaders' which I know a little about from working through a book on 3d graphics in android - getting as far as having a table tennis table with a couple of bats - is it the same idea in unity?, and 3) is it only for making 3d games? Because the sorts of games I would want to make would be simple, 2d games like board games etc. Thanks for your help
