Hi Tom, Amazing how much you extrapolated from my brief post. You said: "Well, that is debatible, [sic] and to be honest is a bit bias." It's most certainly biased. It's biased in favor of market trends which overwhelmingly show that the majority of blind computer users are Windows users. While BGT is not cross-platform, it hardly needs to be in order to support the widest possible customer base. At present that base lies in windows, and nothing compatible to BGT exists elsewhere. Had I not already invested more than a year into learning Python, I would make the switch myself without reservation. You said: "While I will agree that BGT is a nice tool it is not the be all and end all of accessible game development." That's funny given how much you recommended it in the past to aspiring game developers. I daresay the only reason you've flip-flopped now is you have it in your head to produce a competing product in Python. By the way, do you still think Python is suitable only for text adventures and is useful only for script kitties? Have fun, Ryan

What I mean by that is you are assuming that everyone uses Windows and that Mac OS and Linux users aren't included in this discussion. As I recall the initial message asked what language or languages would be good for writing games for Mac, Linux, mobile devices, etc and BGT doesn't remotely cover that aspect of his message. While I will agree that BGT is a nice tool it is not the be all and end all of accessible game development.
