A: Well, I WOULD say that any DirectX 9 computer should be able to run it. BUT, I've had people say now that their old machines 1) have DirectX 9 and 2) can't start my game. That's probably true. My engine assumes some things like 24-bits of color and a 16-bit Z-buffer, plus basic hardware shaders (Shader Model 2.0).
However, finding out if your machine does all that and more is a waste of time. The demo is free and small. Download it and try it. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work.
I'll say this. My Intel Atom netbook runs the client to the point of starting a game. I can't really give that a full test by myself. But Blu, I have the bridge license. If the comps are a core 2 or better and has windows XP or newer it shouldn't have any difficulties. The systems do need to be on the same LAN, and wired is preferable. And it should go without saying, but it has to be said, we do need administrator access to install and run it properly.
Only other downside I see is Sevnn's alcohol issue (and I get it, and do not doubt it will enhance the experience for some), as OU is a dry campus, and you stated they were using the room for a class. So I assume it IS on campus. Though OU is convenient for me; drive wise. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.
