Can my computer run the game?
If your computer can run a relatively modern operating system, then almost certainly yes. This game is made in Python, which runs on everything, with Pygame as the only library. It can use SDL, which runs on anything, and doesn't even require dedicated graphics memory.
So far I have gotten it working smoothly on:
- A low end refurbished 2020 Microsoft Surface
- My 2009 college gaming laptop
- A 2010 Macbook 7.1 with a Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, and 256 MB of VRAM
It should be easy enough to support almost any usable Windows, Mac, or Linux system. Steam Deck should work whenever I make controller controls.
What about consoles?
There are no publicly available methods to port Pygame code onto consoles. Plus it's a pain getting onto some of the stores. The only way I'm getting on consoles is if a third party is involved to do the porting. Ren'py games have been ported to switch, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
The game would probably have to be a big success for anyone to be interested in porting it though.
Mobile?
In short, maybe? Mobile support for Pygame is not good, but I think I might have found a method to run it on Android. We'll see. I would need to make touchscreen controls and then port it to Android, and the resolution wouldn't look great.
If the game is successful, I might be able to port it to Android. Iphones are probably not happening though.
