Adventure Game Studio for Mac Os X

[karakino]

Hi guys. I noticed that a version for Linux actually exists of Adventure Game Studio. Well, Mac Os X have support for x11, the graphic libraries for linux, so, why this application for mac have never come out? Anyone have plans to make a conversion for Apple's OS? I wanna make games with the silence of my iMac G5, not with the noise of my pc's 5 cooling fans... :-p
Anyone with news about this matter should consider to reply to this message please...

Bye and thanks ^__^

Well I would say no, it won't happen. Head over to this thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=16165.0 and you shall see why.

This had been discussed numereous times here, you may use the forum search function to find some of the threads.
Unfortunately we can probably draw a quite clear conclusion, that there won't be a native MAC port in the near future, mainly because porting is no easy task and AGS relies on several libraries (Allegro, etc.) that have no MAC port at the moment.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I suggest, once again, that a sticky be made where everything pertaining to such ports can be dealed with. That should avoid these threads coming up as frequently as they do, like crop circles.

I don't think these discussions should be made sticky, as they're not practical at the moment. They may go into the popular thread archive maybe.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Someplace where the thread-starter (hopefully CJ) can give the long and short of porting AGS, and where everyone interested can reply instead of making new threads, at least.

Actually, for whoever said Allegro wasn't ported to Mac, I found a Mac Port. BUT!, there are still other libraries to consider.

There is no sticky because this question is addressed on the FAQ page on the website.

There is no sticky because this question is addressed on the FAQ page on the website.

Aaaaaahh. <sigh> Unfortunately, that tells a lot about how many people read the FAQ.

[Pumaman]

To be fair, most of the FAQ page is fairly out of date now, I should really update it at some point.

[Joseph DiPerla]

What if you made a post which was the FAQ. Put it in every forum. Sticky it and lock it, this way everyone will absolutely see it and the rules will be followed more concisely(Did I use the right word?).
