Will Dalek Chess run on platform X?

My targeted platform is Linux with an X server. It may coincidently run on any of the free BSD implementations considering the prerequisite tools should be available for them as well. I will try to make certain that the C code generated does not suffer from any endianness or 32/64 bit issues to ensure it will run on all types of Linux platforms. Any non Unix like OS will most likely require some porting effort, which I can not do personally. Being the code will be under GPL you can feel free to port the program to any platform your heart desires, just don’t ask me to do it for you. One thing that should warm the hearts of users of Macs and MS Windows is that the API’s that the game is being based on are supported on those two platforms as well. This means that the port of the game should be fairly easy should I ever have a volunteer to do so.
