I cannot seem to figure out which file to download though?  Which one corresponds to OS X?

Mega Tokyo AGI Archive / AGI / SCI on Apple OS X (iMac)

« on: August 18, 2002, 12:46:50 PM »

Hello.  I've been an avid fan of Sierra adventures since I got SQ1 for X-Mas for the Apple ][e.  Bottom line: I just bought a new iMac that runs OS X.  Also bought the program Virtual PC that emulates the Windows XP OS on the Mac.  Problem is: games run slow.  Very slow.  

Could also scan Ebay for old Mac version Sierra games, but I already have a sizeable collection.

Does anybody know of a ported AGI or SCI interpreter that runs natively under OS X?  Would be a dream come true to run a Sierra adventure in a OS X window.

Thanks

Tim

Brian, thanks.  I guess, first, I'll try and walk myself through your tutorials and see if I can grasp the fundamentals.    Mainly, what I am leary of is the formatting of the program...all the {s and such.  

I can probably figure it out...just need to play with it.  I'll let you know how I come along.

I already have the SCI Studio program and have looked at the tutorial.  It's that tutorial that says a user should have a good working knowledge of the structure of object oriented programming.  My initial question was if anybody could suggest a good place to start in learning that basic knowledge to being SCI game creation.  Any suggestions?

Hello to members of this fine forum.  I've been following the fan-made AGI/SCI scene for a while as a casual bystander...downloaded some of the games and had some fun.

Now, with SCI Studio ready to make games, I'd like to jump in.  Problem:  I don't know a lick of computer programming.  The tutorial suggests a basic knowledge of object-oriented syntax.  I don't have that.  I need that.  How?

Can anybody suggest some good books on C or whatever to bring me to a level where I can at least know what I'm messing with in SCI Studio?

I've been playing Sierra adventures since the Apple ][e and have a very good grasp on the actual mechanics of how to make a good game (I think) just I do posssess a lick of programming knowledge.

Help me get started and I'd become a good member of this little SCI community.
