Yep, soon you will be able to run the program natively in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Sam Lantinga, the creator of SDL (which is the main library used for my program), tried out Seventh Sense and really enjoyed it. He offered his help making it compatible with other platforms, and since he does that sort of thing for a living, I jumped on the offer. Shouldn't be long now!

Oooh, that means a Pandora port eventually! If the damn thing ever gets released...

It's all finished and ready. I just need to find the time to briefly update documentation, package it, and put it up for download...
In fact, Sam Lantinga's Hardcore record on the Hall of Fame was made on a Macintosh! (He's the one that did the port, if you recall)

Works great on the mac.
Plus I discovered I can install windows on my mac with Bootcamp and run any games or windows applications, sweet.

From the specs I read - it looks like it should work. Let me know if you ever try it on there.

I thought it should work, but the Windows spec you posted ages ago was surprisingly high. But Seventh Sense on a handheld would be sweet. EDIT: I have posted on a Pandora-related forum, we will see if anything comes of it. Post is here: forum.openhandhelds.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=735&start=60

What specs did I post? I'll dig that up...
Edit: Found it:
The whole 500mhz P3 thing is because that's my old laptop's processor - I didn't have one slower to test it on. Since the device you linked to has the following specs, I don't think there should be any problem.

Yeah, I remember now. Back in the day when SS was Windows only, a port would only be feasible if a Pentium II could run it.

Actually, I'm tempted to break out my old Win98 box with an AMD k6-2 350 or 400mhz processor, and see how it runs on there... or if it even runs at all.

I think Android is predominantly (or exclusively?) Java - do you know how practical a conversion might be? I'm installing the SDK due to all the requests we get for Android, so may be able to investigate a port if it is remotely practical?
