... All Grobots needs is menus, windows, and basic graphics. It has little use for 3D or other "game features". Not that 3D Grobots wouldn't be interesting... ...
... Maybe it would be less confusing if we didn't call them compile-time words. The name makes more sense in Forth (where they are user-definable and work just...
... Well, OpenGL can do 2D graphics too and GLUT adds basic menu and window support. Still may not be the best choice though. wxWidgets would seem good to me...
I'm glad to see that you are still making progress. Don't forget to document the new instructions. I tried to steer some people here from Robowar the other...
... Oops. I forgot to upload the updated documentation. The reason I added the new instructions was that I was writing a tutorial, and didn't want to to tell...
Hi I long ago got sick of using that crappy old mac I bought, having to change monitor plugs over etc, then have it go really slow. So I was thrilled to see a...

Hi! I just discovered the game, and since you've just got a windows version, the timing couldnt be better (i dont have a mac, nor money for it... although im...
A game in Grobots can look eerily organic. (Cool!) My advice for starting to learn is: * Build a simple side, doesn't even have to move or shoot. * Build a...
Could you make it so that grobots could run on OS X without classic? I want to play sooooo bad. :P I tried Saturday, and got it to compile and launch fine, but...
Great idea, I was about to do that... i was just looking some sides.. its easy to learn doing that(checking other sides).. 1 desavantage though is that it will...
I probably cant help much, but since im interested even in the grobots code, i hope to learn at any opportunity... what code did you try to compile? I see that...
I was working with the mac version. It's really very close to being able to run on OS X. I probably could compile the version with no user interface, but...
There is a "print" command that prints out a number (http:// grobots.sourceforge.net/docs/language.html) I'm from South Carolina, USA, and tend to like taking...
ok, but since OS X is based on linux, you could take the linux version, and try to compile.. maybe it will work without modifications... if so, you will only...
hmm i didnt see that command =/ lol... wow, cool pictures!(beautiful lizzard !) I got some too, but never posted them, except for a few at my orkut album... u...

so the shared memory is free huh... cool =D ...about the picture comment, the word 'then' was supposed to be 'when' =/ i hope you understood the joke anyway......
Actually, OS X is not based on Linux at all. The foundations of OS X are based on BSD Unix. (Linux and BSD are two varieties of free Unix-like operating...

So... life moves in all the funny ways it tends to, and I get an e-mail stating Whooo-hoo a windows version! And I'm like, "No way, when did that happen?" So...
Thanks for offering to host! I would like to participate but I cannot promise an interesting side yet :) Anthony Kozar anthonykozar AT sbcglobal DOT net...
... Much faster - there's already a Carbon port. It works on Classic but not on X, and I don't know why. ... Unfortunately I don't have OS X, or I would have...
I'm just not seeing the menus at all. The headers thing could just be due to the fact that I'm compiling with XCode. If I get more time, I may just mess around...
