    Hi,

    I have a desktop with windows 32 bits.
    I also have a laptop with windows 64 bits.

    I want to eventually make a game for a tablet. I am still learning.

    Anyway does the version I use affect the end result of my game?

    No.
    The exceptions are that large game projects can be impossible to work on 32-bit machine due to memory limitations and that you can't test 64-bit game on 32-bit machine.

    thank you. :)

    Can you test a 32 bit game on a 64 bit machine?

    NOw I have to see if the tablets run on 32 or 64. Well whatever, Ill figure it out later.

    Yes.
    To be exact, all current PCs and laptops are 64-bit machines, it's the OS bitness that matters. 64bit OS can run 32bit application, but not the other way around.
