Graal MAC style

draco5432 · #1 12-21-2002, 09:20 PM

Will there ever be a graal for the mac because i have a few friends with macs that really want to play graal, if you have it please let me know, and if you dont you should try to make a mac version.

CheeToS2 · #2 12-21-2002, 09:45 PM

Its already been discussed, click the "search" button and type "linux"

they've planned to release it to make other OS/s

Unless his dad is some kind of programming god and wrote an emulator that he could get paid a WHOLE lot of money for than this isn't possible.

He doesnt need an emulator is possible to do from scratch! And he probably is a programmer in life.

AlexH · #6 12-21-2002, 10:56 PM

He didn't do it.
He admitted it himself he was lying in the thread he made about it.

draco5432 · #7 12-21-2002, 11:53 PM

Well what do you recomend i can tell my friend to do to get graal for his mac?

tlf288 · #8 12-21-2002, 11:57 PM

He can do one of two options

Wait for Linux Cyberjoueurs to port Graal to Macintosh
Get some kind of windows computer

Unless he does one of those things I can't think of any more options for your friend.

Admins · #9 12-22-2002, 12:15 AM

Yes Graal will work on Mac in a few weeks

There is already a version that works but it's not finished, just found a solution for some technical problems with OpenGL so it's not far.

tlf288 · #10 12-22-2002, 12:20 AM

Kinda off topic but,

How far is the Linux and GBA versions?

I really want the Linux version. Is it using SDL or OpenGL?

Admins · #11 12-22-2002, 12:22 AM

It's using SDL and OpenGL (the plain SDL drawing functions are not so fast anyway on Linux, so OpenGL is the better choice and supports light effects and stuff).

SaitoHajime · #12 12-22-2002, 12:30 AM

I can't wait

tlf288 · #13 12-22-2002, 12:35 AM

I really hope you at Linux Cyberjoueurs do a good job at making it linux compatible. I have seen some really really ugly ports in my time. The sound always seems to be one of the hardest things to port/implement into linux.

Good Luck!

Oh the sound was very simple, the library we are using works on windows, linux, mac, xbox etc. and is very fast, it worked on my old Linux installation without any problems or tricks.

tlf288 · #15 12-22-2002, 02:06 AM

Wow. Most of the time sound is very tricky (gaming wise) in linux. It must have gotten easier or I am getting forgetful.

draco5432 · #16 12-22-2002, 02:14 AM

LOL my friend read the posts you made Stefan he was jumping up and down repeating "Finally i get graal i love Stefan WOO HOO!"

Hope you happy stefan!

tlf288 · #17 12-22-2002, 02:18 AM

If your talking about me I don't really know what your talking about.

If you have something to say to me then please PM me as it doesn't need to be a public disscusion.

draco5432 · #18 12-22-2002, 03:53 AM

Dude i dont even know you why would I post that bout you?!?!

tlf288 · #19 12-22-2002, 04:05 AM

Oh, I must be misreading your post. It would be nice if you would atleast take the time to use proper punctuation(sp?). I am reading it like you are mkaing fun of me but that may not be what you meant.

Sorry

Commas and periods are our friends.

draco5432 · #21 12-22-2002, 04:20 AM

ok you don't have to respond like that. Typically if someone goes out of their way to post an accomplishment (that seems reasonable) i'll believe it. You didn't have to try and make me look like an idiot by saying "you actually believed him?"....

tlf288 · #23 12-22-2002, 04:24 AM

That does seem kind of rude Kaimetsu. I know you'll come back saying something really smart that XxxxneosoftxxxX, or I won't be able to respond to so I wanted to say this before you responded.

Colons and semicolons then?

tlf288 · #25 12-22-2002, 04:32 AM

Atleast the all powerful parenthesis(sp?)!

And if you dont like prenthesises(sp?) then use those square and curly brackets. Those things are so cool and stylish

.

draco5432 · #26 12-22-2002, 05:05 AM

LOL, this is the second year I have had people complain that i dont use periods, or commas.

BTW you happy with my little sentence?

tlf288 · #27 12-22-2002, 05:07 AM

Even though the commas and periods aren't used properly, atleast your sentence is legible.

draco5432 · #28 12-22-2002, 05:08 AM

OK i accept the fact i don't have proper grammer!:grrr:

welp sorry guys, I didn't get around to reading the old thread, just when it first came out...

draco5432 · #31 01-09-2003, 03:28 AM

Welp i hope what stefan said is true, I am buying a account for my friend, late christmas. He has mac so i hope this few weeks turns into a few days

Zickle · #32 01-12-2003, 01:40 AM

I figure it will be hard to keep all versions updated.

he is writing it in C++.. there will only be one distribution I think.. that will work with mac/linux/windows

Admins · #34 01-12-2003, 03:45 AM

Yes and you can cross-compile for all platforms, so we can develope on one platform (linux) and compile for Linux/Windows/Mac/BeOS/FreeBSD. XBox needs a special compiler.
