Excellent idea. Similar to what is suggested regarding a library in "The Mythical Man-Month".

Yes. They are explained on the side and in the page. But i did not easily understand the difference in between the goodies. Perhaps they just needed a few more words. It's almost as if there are fancy new words for each level, but don't explain it too well...hmm...that's not right. Maybe it's that i don't understand what i am missing out on if i go to the lower level.
This is just based on a feeling after looking for a few minutes. I watched most of the video (got boring after a bit) and read the side panel, and while i though i figured out most of it, i was left feeling that i had an incomplete understanding.
I am not telling you this as a complaint. Just communicating that "quick feeling" on which i base so many of my decisions.

So in short this is a system that allows you to create games for smart phones, tabs, iPhone, iPads etc.....you can still however play your gaem through HTML5 if you are not a fan of playing games on mobile devices.....HTML5 is simply accessed through a web browser so it should work on a Mac Mini.....hope this helps?
That helps. IOW, the mac mini, running OSX, cannot run the games natively. Instead, it would require a browser to do so, much like Windows. Mobile devices will run them natively.
Was that explained in the video or in a prominent location on the page?
apm-designs wrote:3) Very good point regarding the currency.....many vistors are from the US
And we Americans are less likely to spend more then a few seconds making that initial decision (to support, or to spend more time studying it). Currency is a major player in that decision, and if it isn't provided clearly, i would guess that a lot of people would just give up unless they were *really* interested in the project.
