I wanted to port something, then I thought well GG2 is a small file, why not port it? So I did. If TF2 is on the mac, then hell, why not port GG2? To tell the truth I have never even played GG2! Only TF2! Just felt like porting XD.

Thats why we test huh? :D. Enjoy! And sorry if I pissed off the windows users. Can we talk about the Application now? And now fight between which is better!

I believe GG2 wasn't made for Macs is because of Game Maker, but that's just me.

Okay so has anyone actually tried this yet?

I think the main problem is that few to no users here have an apple computer. The vast majority of us use windows because, obviously, GG2 has only worked on windows up to now.

And yes Mac's were not made for gaming. It's just an option that many people take on a Mac. So has anyone tested? :c6:

Possibly in the late future :). The only way I would soon is through Jailbreak, because it takes 99$ to be an app provider on the App Store, even free apps!

Nope. I think my family would have a heart attack if I brought a mac in.

If I were still in school, I'd put this on one of the macs in the computer lab to test it out.

But my hangout was the PC computer lab.

Downloaded and tried on 10.6.3. Unfortunately it works about as well as when I tried to run it under Wine myself – not well. I get the v 2.2 bit and the rest of the window is totally garbled.

apparently he used this program to pass GG2 through to make it Mac compatible

what shocks me the most is that even the networking, which is designed for windows sockets, were successfully transferred.

this must be some pretty powerful tools you got there

Hmmm...would be a nice idea.
You just need to make a copy of all sprites, add a few white pixels and make it send one additional bit that differs from wether you are a Mac-Fag or a Win-Fag/Linux-Fag that uses WINE.
It's not too difficult to make GG2 display different sprites if a variable has a certain value.
This reminds me, maybe I shoud start working on my mod again, I did pretty much nothing in, like,...the last TWO MONTHS?!? D:
GODSCIENCE, I'm lazy!
I better be quick before someone hax my computer or cheats me to get the sauce.
Also, do you think that Renamon is a quick gal? And comparable to...say...Sonic?
And don't quote me on that, but I think that you should be able to play badgers in GG2, as well.
