I just wanted to inform you that the new GLBasic SDK can directly compile .png executables on your Windows PC now. No longer do you need a device and the awkward GCC installation routines.
For those who don't know about GLBasic:
GLBasic is an easy to learn programming language targeting a huge variety of platforms. It has a GCC powered backend, resulting in very fast executables. With the properly chosen command set it's easy to write really professional games. The 2D version is free for Windows, Linux and Mac builds.
