Each platform has its own pricing structure set by the implementor(s). The BeOS version is distributed in two forms. The online release is a somewhat limited form (no remote games, no docs for robot creation) which is basically free. The full package, which includes information on creating your own robots and remote play, has a US$15.00 registration fee. Printed documentation is US$5.00*. For information on various implementations, please contact the people below:

The implementations listed above are available or planned. Most of them are not in progress. If you would like to contribute to the development of Splook on any of these platforms (or others) please contact Greg Weston. To make this more attractive, resources available to implementors will include a decent spec, highly portable backend logic, reusable algorithms, and a full set of graphics and sounds. The majority of work in new implementations should be centered on the UI.
* Please note that if you ask for printed documentation, you're basically just going to get this same information in hard copy. Black-and-white hard copy. I don't actually expect anyone to take me up on the offer of printed docs, and have intentionally priced them unreasonably to discourage people from asking for them. (All I am saying/is give trees a chance.)
