Could you help me with this?



Sorry that the reply took so long - it seems as if our .forward for the
linuxgam@sunsite.auc.dk account was accidentally deleted - and thus all
mails sent to it were quietly moved into an unobtrusive file on the server
without anyone noticing.

For most games your choice is effectively limited to C and C++. Other
languages just have critical weak points in terms of speed, availability of
libraries, portability etc
For games not requiring high performance graphics/AI Java might also be an
option. It's nice to use and, well, you won't get anything more portable.
