I'll see if I can get it to work in Wine, though I don't hold out much hope because only a small percentage of Windows programs do, but if I can't I think I'm prepared to buy a Windows laptop just for it. To be honest I do miss Windows a bit because I can hardly get any of my old games working on Linux. Anyway the closest I've ever got to game development was using Amos and Blitz Basic on an Amiga when I was a teenager. They were both designed to make game development easier as well. I made a 2D platform game of Dr. Who, with Daleks because they were easy to animate. Seriously, I can't wait to do this - thanks to both of you for the infoThat's great! Note that I really do have shite laptops at work (like about $500 or less), and Unity really does work fine on them. Not sure, but think they are i3 or even Core Duo computers.Now you guys just carry on chatting and I'll dip in again when I've got something to show
Just to let you know I got my new laptop, have Unity installed, and have started on the first tutorial. The whole thing looks incredible - I'm so glad you put me onto it because I think it will become an obsession
I think it's really gonna work for me because it looks like you can build up your projects iteratively and see the results as you go - much more so than you can with traditional programming - so less discouragement and more opportunity to use your imagination because it's almost like working backwards from the graphics to the code... almost like Minecraft for programmers.
