The Mac .app listed as a separate download should not require anything extra to be installed now. Please contact me if this is not the case - I don't have a test machine available.

Update: One confirmed test. Should be good to go.

Hmm, it didn't open on my Macbook because

'2008-09-14 18:56:55.759 run_game[15305] A Python runtime could be located. You may need to install a framework build of Python, or edit the PyRuntimeLocations array in this application's Info.plist file.'

My python runtime is in

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current

And the app (well, the Info.plist at least) assumes it's in

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python

I don't know if it's an error, though, because I remember I tweaked my Python installation in the past and I might have moved my 2.5 folder to somewhere else and symlinked to it or something, but I'm on Tiger and I'm pretty sure that the 'Current' folder is present on all Macs regardless of version number. Anyway, just brought it up to let you know.

I suck at this game. But when I lose all my gunners, this happens:

Could you do me a favor and see if setting use_pythonpath to true in Info.plist fixes your problem? I didn't do anything weird with py2app - as far as I know, that is its default value. I am looking into ways to fix this.

I got it to run.

At first I tried changing the entry in Info.plist that the error message refers to, but that didn't help.

Then I found that in the Contents/MacOSX folder of the package, there is a symlink called 'python' that was pointing to a particular version of Python in /System, which I didn't have. Changing it to point to my own installation of 2.5 worked.

Yes, but it's just a symlink to the default version. On Tiger that's 2.3, so it might not work anyway if you changed it to use 'Current'.

This is an inherent problem with using py2app to build a package that uses the system Python -- not all Macs have the same version of Python as the system Python.

Sorry folks, but when I run this game I get a Segmentation Fault. This is on Ubuntu Gutsy with pyglet 1.1.1 under Python 2.5.2 and AVBin version 6.
