I was pleasantly suprised at how easy it is to develop with Python and GTK on both Linux and Windows. Right now I am doing a little hobby project and I can copy my source tree from my Windows box to my Linux laptop and it runs exactly the same. It took an hour or two with google to find all the packages I needed on windows, while my linux distro (Suse) installed them automagically.
These are the files I installed:
python-2.4.2.msi
gtk+-2.8.9-setup-1.zip
pycairo-1.0.2-1.win32-py2.4.exe
pygtk-2.8.4-1.win32-py2.4.exe
pysqlite-2.1.2.win32-py2.4.exe
Then a futzing with the PATH and LIB variables and everything works nicely. I can use Glade to build the gui, pygtk to load it, and sqlite to store data.
Black and white was way cool! Very unorthodox gameplay. Or rather it was the way we all really play RTS games made into a real game. Getlots of minions so you can you build really huge cool buildings! And then torture your puney units with whatever experiments you want. I'm glad somebody out there is making something other than cookie cutter stradegy games.

That is the funniest slashdot comment I've ever read.
