so um other than looking uglier than apprentice what exactly does this program accomplish?
As Redshark's creator, a few comments:
First of all, all feedback is good...positive or not.
Probably the most salient feature of Redshark compared to Appr is that it has a dual-deck solitaire mode. To be honest, I don't even know all the differences because I'm not an Appr expert. But one other smaller feature would likely be the fact that cards can be 'attached' to each other , possibly making them easier to manipulate as a group.
Yes, a DP version is in the works.
Regarding cross-platform development - Yes, there are many tools, but developing freeware is expensive enough when just considering the labor, not to mention the potential hardware expense of buying another box - like a Mac. Having worked with multiple cross-platform toolkits, I've yet to see an application of any depth build on multiple platforms (beyond just unix variants) without any code tweaks...it's just the way it goes most of the time. I'm not anti-Mac, but I can't ignore the numbers when there is significant cost involved.
Again, I appreciate all the comments and hope you give Redshark a try.
Thx
