Hm no, A8 uses the Enet library (or am I wrong?). And why would physX not work or depend on the GPU?

EDIT:

DirectPlay isn't used anymore it's been overwritten in A8 by Enet. Not sure about the physics though...

Yeah, even with Enet already implemented, tt's probably still safe to say that a linux port will never happen. But I figured this was a thread to say anything you don't like, so I did...

physx 3.0 runs with gpu accerelation on android.

Yes, but not Linux (despite the similarities) and that's a fact, jack.

EDIT: Here's a thread on Nvidia's own developer boards to prove it. Disappointing, eh? Admittedly, the thread is a little old, but as the last poster said, there were no plans to add GPU support to the Linux SDK and it's stayed that way the last two years.

You can also see it on wikipedia:

And where is the problem with missing GPU acceleration? I actually doubt that gamestudio is using it at all, at the moment...
There is no real reason against Linux and Mac support as soon as Android is working. Changing the very few platform dependencies is then only a matter of a few days of work. And in case the new WED is written using Qt, it will probably also just run on most platforms, with minimal additional work.
I don´t believe that there will be linux support, anytime soon, but I also don´t really see a reason against it. Same about iOS btw, if Android works, there isn´t much left to do to make it work on iOS.

I am guessing hardest part would writing a lite-c compiler for ARM based processor, but even without lite-c support there is still c-script.

I've been saying this since 2003, nearly TEN YEARS: A better texturing interface in WED!! The way it is now is just... ignorant. I may as well keep a frickin hoola hoop next to me and everytime I set a texture I'll get out of my chair and jump through it.
