There is no compiler for the platform. Blockland itself does not support Linux, why on earth would AB? There are very few people who even play Blockland under Linux, so there is no demand for it. Finally because of so many variations and distributions, if I did make a Linux port its not possible for me to make it compatible with Linux in general, but only a specific system.

Sure... :cookieMonster:
User Interface
I find the UI pretty. I like how everything is kept organized, seemingly sorted into categories with those little frames you have, especially on the main screen. A few things, though:
-What's up with the huge space in the top of the main menu? It just...sits there. At first I would think that that was the space the app menus go when you click on the button (sort of like the Game Maker screen), but no...?
-Tiny buttons. Sometimes I kind of forget which button is which and have to hover over each of the icons until I find the one I need. I would like each of the buttons to have a small caption, so I don't have to keep scavenging for the right button, especially when you add more apps in the future. This also kinda ties with my first point, utilizing the space to make it easier for our eyes~
-Button highlight. This is quite trivial, if you don't care, you don't have to deal with it. Just a simple request to make all buttons highlight when you hover, those buttons that don't highlight give this odd feeling, as if I was pushing down on a solid brick in a wall.
-Format. Also trivial, I get annoyed with different formatting. The font in the Clan Manager thingamajig and Knaz Cookie has a different font from everything else. Also, the brick factory menu has no title, then the Packager has a white title on the top-left, then the name generator has a pseudo-BLFont title in the top-right, and so on.
Brick Factory
Bricks! Bricks! Bricks! Just easy to use, well done. But time ta' suggest:
-Use? I've seen plenty of brick packs with the same darn bricks over and over and overandoverandOVERANDOVERAND-- so I just wondered why this was needed. Not that I am a addon machine, but I think something in which you could model custom bricks (like the stuff in the One Random Brick Pack) would be WAY more useful. Maybe difficult to code and such, do it if you want.
3Step Packager
Praisepraisepraisetalkaboutsi mplicityyadayadayadacakeisali eeasyprettyuiblahblah one thing:
-Button highlighting! AGH! I would guess it's hard to see if you picked a certain category of addon already. Highlight derr button. 'nuff said.
Name Generator
Good enough.
Clan Plan
Holyforget good stuff. Nothing to say, again.
Knaz Cookie
...no comment.
Event Cookbook
Holy crap! Points to talk about!
-Categories. Some categories are just...no. For example, pretty much everything is "fun" and not too many things fit in "electronics" (unless you're gonna write up "Event Computers for Dummies"). Simply put it, use difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert.
-Five articles? Sure, maybe you just don't have time to write things up, but I'll gladly fill up the cookbook with event guides and stuff. Yeah, I'd like to submit my own guids :D
Rate Blocklanders
Good. Whatever.

Tyler66:
Just a little question because I was very curious:
Is AfterBlock compatible with interacting with the physical computer's file system?
MrLoL:
I still have error, nobody care, wow what a awesome program! I love it! /sarcasm
Scout31:
I love how you blame AfterBlock for an error with mediafire.
