As far as I understand, to get a Windows executable you need to compile under Windows.

But since AppGameKit compiles to a bytecode, wouldn't it also be possible to export to other platforms (here: Windows) from Linux?
It could maybe achieved by adding the (Windows-)runtime in one file in front of the compiled bytecode.

I'm asking, because all my computers are Windows-free (since 1995), and I don't plan to get Windows again.

i think the windows interpreter core (player) (that comes with the ide) can use the bytecode generated from a linux maschine.

Yes, that should be no problem - but how to "link" them together in one "exe"-File on Linux?
That is my main concern.

i guess the bytecode file is loaded after the player (interpreter) start. its also in the media sub folder.

This. The windows executable without a bytecode file is the player app. If it reads a bytecode file with the same name as the player app it loads the game.

Thank you!

I'll try this at work, where I can utilize a Windows Laptop.
