Ideally GAMBAS would be on all common OS and hardware with all component 
libraries working. Hardware's slowly coming closer to a semblance of 
interoperability, but it's not there yet. To get GAMBAS to work on 
Android/iOS would require some engineering and it would probably get 
banned from distribution through Apple's App Store for some ridiculous 
licensing reason or general discontent with its power as a creation 
tool. The "End" goal should be to get GAMBAS working on every platform. 
Total dominance.
