Will PT4 for mac users be ported or coded?
I hope coded as it will run much better
The code base since PokerTracker 3 has been developed in C++; this allows our team to develop from the start with cross platform compatibility in mind by writing the core code once, then altering it for Mac and PC specifics. This is generally how cross platform software is developed in any industry, with some exceptions of course. Hard coding for each platform has great disadvantages, it is too expensive, and introduces bugs that are hard to track since they are unique to the platform. There are also advantages, but we aren't a company the size of Intuit or Adobe - its not feasible for us to consider.
On the bright side Pokertracker is the only cross platform tracking application for poker that really works, I think it says a lot about our vision for the future - we think big picture, and provide our users the flexibility to switch between platforms without having to buy a second software license. I cannot think of any other poker software company that does this... pretty cool IMO.
