Hey, if you decide to go cross-platform, I’m very much willing to help you out testing on Linux based platforms. Got a split install, so I can do testing on both Windows and Linux.

Again, very glad to hear the project isn’t scrapped! Give a yell when you’ve got the project up on Kickstarter, and I’ll see how I can help you out!

Yeah… one of my best suggestions was from a colleague who is also a Mac user. I’m thinking in that direction already.

Thanks, though!

For the sake of portability, I’d encourage keeping an eye on cross-platforms toolkits (if you don’t decide to just roll your own), and especially not C#. Please?

Thanks for giving a yell! I haven’t started a project on Kickstarter for ATM just yet. I will announce it here (and everywhere I can) when I do so. (Remember to subscribe to the feed!)

Since I wrote this yesterday, I’ve had some feedback from colleagues on what I should use for the interface programming. I have some promising possibilities. More later…

I am very glad to see that you have not abandoned ATM. Being an airline enthusiast who’s currently working with the airlines (lost luggage department at an international airport) this is a simulator I know I could spend hours and hours playing. I am definitely going to give KickStarter a look and see if I can pledge a little toward the work on ATM.

As for the interface, I don’t know if it is possible but something like GTK might be an option? I haven’t worked with it myself, but I know it’s a powerful, and cross platform, framework for user interfaces. Maybe worth a look?

Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing it in action!
