SEV for Linux?
 
Se IV was written in VB if I remember correctly.
I don't program in that so I know very little of it.
I program in Delphi, in Delphi you can make a program and compile a Version for windows and one for linux, is that possible in Visual Basic?
And if so, will SE V come in Linux flavour?
SE IV is the only reason I haven't switched OS yet... and If SE V isn't in Linux ver I'll never switch.
(I've tried dual boot but it's to bothersome, it's all or nothing for me!)

I think it was SE3 that was in VB, while SE4 was in delphi.

I remember AH stating on one of the old #se4 interviews that it was made in delphi.

SEIV was done in Delphi, not VB. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

SJ is correct in saying SEIV was written in Delphi. I do not know for sure on SEIII.

Dang, Fyron beat me to it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

The ancient and forgotten "original" SE without a number was in VB, as was SE II. SE III and SE IV were in Delphi (though different Versions). SE V might be in C++ just because so many libraries are in C++ now.

Great.
Will mail MM tomorrow and give them a hint, altough they might use stuff that isn't compatible with Linux, the chance still remains...

There are loots of libraries and components and stuff to Delphi too.
Much are made for both C and Delphi.

And usually people tends to stick with what they're good at, atleast I.

I've tried C++ and VB but I have to look up things all the time, much easier for me to do Delphi that I have in my memory and don't have to learn.

I've heard that SE IV works with WinE. Maybe SE V will also.
