Also, since GML is made for games, it will make the system requirements much higher than otherwise, and make it boot up MUCH slower. --- Quote from: Sheath on February 15, 2011, 02:59:49 PM ---Then use WINE to run AfterBlock. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Sheath on February 10, 2011, 01:08:59 AM ---WINE is really shoddy, I don't recommend it. If you want to use AB on Mac, the best thing to do is wait. Nothing but the official Mac port will be any good. --- End quote --- I'll try though... --- Quote from: Sheath on February 15, 2011, 02:59:49 PM ---The demand for Mac users wanting AfterBlock is already small. Any smaller and I'd probably not bother. The Linux demand is even poorer, so thats a definite no no. --- End quote --- Well then, why didn't you make it in a cross-platform language then (like Java/C#/VB.net)? --- Quote from: Sheath on February 01, 2011, 09:48:06 PM ---I can't say for sure, I'd guess about a month. I just have to copy it to a Mac compatible project and remove all the references to Windows directories and components. --- End quote --- Remember, copy-paste is the root of all evil. |

Although its not ideal, but AfterBlock is made for a game, and its designed in a very game-like way. It doesn't look like your average Windows GUI. --- Quote from: DontCare4Free on February 15, 2011, 03:19:16 PM ---Remember, copy-paste is the root of all evil. --- End quote --- I couldn't copy and paste the content in the project if I tried... it would take weeks. In response to your programming language suggestion, it is not possible to just learn and become an expert at a programming language overnight. I'd rather use something I am familiar with at the cost of having to work around memory problems than re-learn an entirely new language, when I'm already bogged down. Its not practical. |

EDIT: Additionally, the Linux architecture is VERY similar to the Mac OS X architecture. |
