Basketfox for other borwsers

Hi all,

I want to share a quick word about porting Basketfox to other browsers. While this seems like an exciting new project, it seems that there is less interest in the community. In fact only 8% of the people would use Basketfox for Safari or Opera should it be available. While people are mostly happy with having Basketfox for Chrome (55% of the users use the Chrome version) and Firefox (51% of the users use the Firefox version).

*Note that the percentages do not add up to 100% but more because in the poll one could vote any number of browser that he intends to use with Basketfox and apparently there are some people who use Basketfox both in Firefox and Chrome (maybe a work/home situation or a second computer like girlfriends's computer and so on!)

So, porting Basketfox to other browsers is not a top priority. Instead we focus on providing all the possible features that BSGoodies and the community can think of and support the existing versions.

Moreover, we have started contemplating about a mobile version of the game or of Basketfox. This needs much discussion with the game admin so it is - for now - just a thought!

All the best,
Enjoy basketsim!
Enjoy basketfox!
