Where to Work
nYou can develop on any platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) since OpenGL is cross platform. And for you adventurous types, you can do your game in DirectX in Windows.
nWorking on the Sweet Hall machines will allow Sean and I to help more.
Working on a laptop could be convenient,
but remember, laptops don’t usually have the nice videocards that desktops computers will
have. Design you game and choose your development platform accordingly.
