Blockland for linux?

[bloodnight]

I have recently picked myself up a copy of Ubuntu, and am wondering if Badspot would make Blockland for Linux.
I know there is Wine, But Its kind of complacated.
So.. to the blockland community & Badspot:
Could Blockland be made to run on Linux?

No.

I learned that Blockland could already run on Linux on the main page.

Linux does work on wine? Cool,
But i still think Badspot should create BL for Ubuntu.. like officialy...

Speaking as a developer who has shipped games on Linux, developed middleware for Linux, run Linux game servers, and whose website and build system is currently running on a Linux server:

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.

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.

Thank you kompresser.

Running the server on linux, How is this possible?
Using wine?

Running a dedicated using only the console.
