hmm I am not as up with the play as I should be.
It depends on the types of games that would work.
python works with macs pcs both windows and linux.
I know there is the mono dotnet opensource framework and thats
supposed to work with everything with the same features as the
windows dotnet client has.
Now I have used in the past pascal and there is probably a client
for all platforms.
Standard c or c in general should work, linux is basically c anyway,
so no big issue loads of compilers for all platforms.
So a lot of stuff probably works visual basic probably won't work
outside windows.
Most stuff should work with windows from 98 up to server 2012, mac is
slightly more tricky as is linux but I think a lot of stuff can be
sourced for each os.
We do have an issue with anything over that.
I know we do have windows rt should we use it though no access
supports = no use I'd imagine for now anyway.
Mac I am not sure but there should be no issue as is linux.
The iphone with restrictions may work though a lot seem to be jail
breaking their units.
Android is probably the option for least resistance.
Its google and opensource probably has its apis somewhere online.
the ios stuff if you make it by the rules needs licences by apple.
and if you hack it well I don't know, I have been wanting an ios
device for all the games with the reviews, but after all the hastle
with all the restrictions I am not sure if I should just get one of
the nexus devices.
If there are sighted devs there is always xna I am not sure what we
would need to run on xbox but assumedly its supposed to run on xbox
360s potentually.
The rest soni etc nes whatever I am not sure about access but we
already have a large extent of reach and choice on platform.
ok not steam but we probably don't need that.
there is also blackburry but hardly anyone uses that anyway.

Yes, from what I've seen, they aren't. Now if only we had a game
engine for everyone that was inclusive of other operating systems?
Would one have to own a mac to even code/compile for it? Wait, Java
works on everything right? But then, most audio games use TTS that
other systems don't have, so java wouldn't work well with audio
games on my mac. I gave my pc to my sister, so I'll have to find a
VM. Anyways, perhaps BGT could do it, but I doubt Philip would want
to expand into mac stuff, since everyone seems to think that windows
is all there is. I know Draconis has made an engine that is
inclusive, but that is only available for them.
