Well, yeh the money would have to come from the development done after
Chicken was ported to the platform in question. The person who did the
port might have some development advantage while others play catch up.
It depends on how applicable/successful Chicken could be on these
platforms. I recently came across http://www.simkin.co.uk/. It appears
to have had some kind of funding/commercial backing. Do others think
Chicken might have potential in this area?
