Game uploaded! <\/p>\n

It’s 4AM and I’m sitting at my work because I don’t have Mac but I wanted to build our game for Mac OS X. Now we have best “Instalation Experience” I could imagined but sadly Mac OS X is the most broken build of our game and I’m not sure if I can drive home after so many hours of sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n

We had to directly hack event loop of game engine, because it game clock was starving of event ticks if wasn’t getting enough user input events (remember that it’s a “press space to win” type of game). We had to monkey patch resource finder because it could not deal with freezed\/bundled apps (we use python). And last but not least we had to cover our game with a ton compatibility assertions to make music\/sounds at least pretend to work.<\/p>\n

Effect: we had to disable all sound effects and anything you can hear is our theme music but it will probably eventually die in slow agony of cracks and gaps.<\/p>\n

I only hope that this is maybe only my broken environment and someone will get this game working on Mac OS X without any issues.<\/p>\n
