Title: Any news on the OSX version?

If we had one of those here we would already be done :), Gish is coming out very soon, and it will also have an OSX version :)

Excelent. I have played the gish demo and liked it (even if it was a little short - it gets the gameplay across).
So when will the OSX version of gish be coming out, or if I buy the PC version, do I get to play it on OSX as well?

I assume that the OSX version of BCS must be almost ready now you have finished the show. Especially as you have finished gish and you are obviously sitting there twiddling your thumbs and browsing the web :)

The OSX version of BCS and Gish will probably come out around the same time, now that we are finished with Windows version of Gish.  If you purchase Gish for Windows your keycode will also work for your OSX version.

It's now in the middle of Wednesday... Can you tell us what's happening?

And, again, it's better if it takes a little longer than if it contains lots of small bugs.

Yes that feature has always been there.  One new thing added was mouse wheel support.  I dont know if any Macs have a mouse wheel though.  Maybe we will do a small update for the Windows and Linux after the OS X version is all finished up.

You still remember my info from a month ago? Otherwise I'll send it again. But I'll tell you now that the e-mail address contains an @, which is somewhere in the middle. :laugh:

Edit: you have mail! I was planning to buy Gish once the Mac version is out, but why not now, now I have a chance to be a beta-tester. :)

Edit again: of course I also meant BCS. ;-)

I found it in the meantime in the PC version.

And I'll try the mouse wheel once the list is full enough. :)
(I have such a mouse somewhere, although I almost never use it...)

BCS for OSX is in testing right now.  Anyone who signed up for beta testing should get an e-mail by Monday.

My desktop Mac has a mouse with a scrollwheel, wouldn't have it any other way.
However, the Powerbooks and iBooks don't have mice connected so nothing other than the one button provided.

I got myself a copy of bridge construction set and I am having difficulty keeping myself away from it :)

I have a few suggestions on how the Mac UI could be improved in the game:
 - support for command-z for undo
 - support for command-q for quit
 - possibily moving the setup application to the preferences option of the application?
 - make the BCS application menu operational
 - when hitting escape it take me back to the previous screen. I sometimes find myself hitting it be accident and having to restart my bridge again when I go back into the editing view
 
Just my 5c worth

They are working on a new patch, which probably has some of that implemented (like 'setup' in settings, taken from Gish). Other things may be hard to do with SDL (like app menu, I think).

We are just fixing a couple of little things and packaging up BCS for testing on OSX, it should be ready on Monday.

Hi,

I have already asked about all of those features (except the cmd-z) so they are aware.
I also had a major problem with the escape key too. Don't know why but even after I knew it took me back, I still hit it almost every time I wanted to cancel a cable.
Command click does that, and I know it does but my hand just does the escape before I have thought about it :)

Command - click, which is used to end ropes and delete bridge sections

Like this? :)

if(creatingabeam) cancel();
else if(x) x(); // for every other substitute, if any
else exit();

I found that if you create a beam while holding shift down, the next beam will be created from the same point. Is this new, or did I never notice it? ???

I would tend not to call exit() in the middle of a program when someone presses the escape key myself!
Escape means different things to different people, but very rarely quit!

I mean like "Exit" in the top left corner. :;):

Well I can tell you we have the MAC in our office now, the only problem is we will not have time to work on it tell after GDC (march 24-27).  We have to basically finish two games before then.   After GDC we will be working on the OSX version :)
