Hey, was just wondering if there'll be any chance of seeing an Apple Mac build of AGS? Because i do a lot of design, The Mac is generally a lot better than the PC, but its just a shame that you can't get many programs like this one for it. I have access to a PC but i just wondered if there were any plans?
AGS uses allegro and im pretty sure mac cant use allegro

Now I'm not speaking for Chris, so what I say here is only representative of me:
This has been asked a few times before, no offense :p
Basically:
1) Neither Chris nor I own a Mac
2) Allegro is beta at best on a Mac
3) AGS Code doesn't even begin to be endian safe (meaning byte order is opposite of what PPC expects)
4) Loads and Loads of Time Required
5) Not all the libraries we use even if the above were solved may work on the Mac or be endian safe
I'd personally like to port the engine to the Mac in the future or at the very least non-x86 Linux, but that would require money and time, something I'm lacking a lot of going to school at the moment.
I also still have a *lot* of things I'd like to finish doing for the Linux port (an installer for games, etc.), documentation and other goodies I can't reveal yet.
Sorry :(
yet, we really do hope that you stick around.
Thanks for the reply, ah i was just curious. It's not a big problem for me. :)
