Work Started on Windows Version

Desktop Kittens
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Started working on a Windows version of Desktop Kittens.

Desktop Kittens on macOS was written in Xojo. Instead of recompiling for Windows, it’s being written in C#. Part of the reasons for this are:

  • a Xojo version will add a recurring expense for maintaining.

  • Xojo uses old windows controls

  • it would require development time to add additional Windows support by directly calling Windows APIs and at that point it would be better to use C# natively.

  • I like C#

I finished the first version fairly quickly because I worked on it full time. This time I won’t be able to, but I hope to have it finished before the end of the summer.
