Keep in mind also that we want to be able to scale down to 320x240 for
slow machines - but the gfxs will be stored high-res on disk anyway, and
of course the game will lose a lot of it's beauty.

Yeah - before porting a game we should try to HAVE a game ;) and by the
time it's finished, if we continue at the same speed than for 0.3,
mobiles & portable consoles will surely be able to run it - it might
even be obsolete :)

That's what I'd suggest too. Having a windows port (there is really a
few things to do - just a 'tle issue with Python) would be nice,
although I'd say it's not a top priority (I'm AGAINST including a Visual
Basic project file in the CVS tree! ;))
