As I suppose regions are implemented differently on other platforms
(Linux/MacOS), right? Thanks to this discussion I made a progress with a
software that I wanted to be compatible with Lazarus (
http://www.maxerist.net/main/soft-for-win/tubicus) . It's a tetris-inspired
game and is gnu gpl. I would like to made it compatible with other
platforms, but I'm not sure whether I should change region-based logic to
something else in this case. I will be glad to hear any advice on this.
