unfortunately yes for the moment. The bigest incompatibility we have at the
moment is the event_type class that we use to give the client an
eventloop...

yes there is one - smarteiffel - (http://smarteiffel.loria.fr/) - but as I
said we are not compatible with it.
If you want to try out the smarteiffel compiler I recommend you get the
Version 1.1 and not the recently released 2.0 beta.

The Eiffel language is currently in the process of being standardized and
the compiler incompatibilities should eventually disappear. In the meantime
you could get a trialversion of eiffelstudio for your platform and use that
to compile a few games...

hope that helps -
