Blockland for linux?
cambiogris:
Exactly, it's just not worth the developer effort to target a small platform that has such a mess of libraries. Especially when WINE works nicely (though there is somewhat of a FPS drop).
It shouldn't be too hard to run Blockland in WINE, most likely it will run out-of-the-box. It did for me in Ubuntu 9.04.

Input, sound, and 3d graphics on Linux are an absolute mess. Running a dedicated server on Linux is smart. Running the client on Linux would be hell.
If you want a Unix that can do 3d graphics, get a Mac. Or just run Wine.
