Hey gang,<br>
<br>
First, good news - the Computer Games Arts degree at University for the Creative Arts at Farnham (<a href="http://ucreative.ac.uk/" target="_blank">http://ucreative.ac.uk</a>) is now using Fluxus to teach programming and game concepts in the 1st year!<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yay! That's good news and a good idea too; I'm currently quite pleased with how good Fluxus is at game development.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
Now, the bad news - it has to be running on a PC (boo!),</blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's unavoidable though; people interested in gaming will quite likely either have a Windows box or partition and if they don't their future audience likely will.</div>

Is this a known issue?<br>

Loading files to that, or writing them out wouldn't be that hard. I'd really like catching shift, alt, ctrl and for all I care clover and win keys for that as well, BTW.</div>
