Game Programming on Mac?

Dear Apple,
My cousin Jesse is wondering why all the game programming tutorials on the internet are made using the PC. Doesn’t Apple have the ability to make games on their operating system?
Just wondering,
Craig

You can write games for the iPhone on a Mac
Also, there are many games that run on a Mac

I have Fallout3 GOTY edition for pc, does anyone know how to install and play the game? a pc game on a mac?

i have purchased Fallout 3 GOTY edition and i can't seem to play it. i have wine and winebottler, and many other zip programs. I can install the game and everything and after it downloads, i press run program, but nothing happens? .. i also have bootcamp but cant seem to download that?? even with wine bottler and all that noting happens and i cant download and install bootcamp?? can anyone help with info on running a pc game on a mac please? i have a macbook pro that i purchased in early 2011 and it has heaps of space, and has intel core processor and all that?? if that helps

First... WineBottler is VERY OLD and no longer updated. Use Wineskin instead if your trying to get games running on your own.
Second... You may want to become a member over at portingteam.com forums... there is a working Fallout3 wrapper over there you can download and use. I think it was made with Wineskin.

What softwares will convert Windows programs to Mac?

I hear there are some softwares that can convert a windows-based program to Mac. I just got my new 13" Pro last week and I used to be a windows user. I have a copy of Real Flight G6.5 that I got when it came out. For those who don't know what Real Flight is, its a flight simulator to train people to fly basically any model R.C plane. I really enjoy the simulator and I hate the Windows OS. I find it unreliable and slow. The only thing its really good for is gaming. So my question is, does anyone know any decent software that can/will convert a Windows-based program to Mac format and how is the quality? By the way, my 13" Pro is all standard. 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive space, Intel core i5 with 512MB of dedicated video memory.

I know a couple guys who are very good with computers, better than me. One is a hacker about my age and the other is an actual computer technician for my old school and they both know of these types of softwares. Now I would like to run windows on a Mac, its not as good as an actual Windows-based PC. So I will actually build my own gaming desktop. Yes its more expensive but I got a Mac so I could use it as a Mac, not another problem for me and my parents. It will cost about the same as a 13" Pro but it will be able to run games better.
Thanks though!

Start at the [Mac Dev Center|http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/index.action]. Everything you need is there.

No. When you join the Mac Developer Program you'll get instructions on how to set up your bank account and how to place your app in the correct stores.

You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

Can I copy over an iPod game from one mac to another?

I bought a game at home on my laptop. I sync my ipod to my Mac at work so my question is this. Can I locate the file on my laptop and then copy it over and import it into my itunes library at work. In the past, I used Podworks to copy games from my iPod to my other computer, but recently Podworks has stopped working and the makers don't reply to my emails (word of warning to anyone reading this...don't buy Podworks!) - so I'd rather not have to buy software to copy over the files.
If I sync my games with the mac at work it just deletes iQuiz and all my high scores & history on other games I've purchased.
Cheers,
Smartmart

Use the instructions in this article to locate the games, and then move them to the new computer; these will have an extension of ipg.

It will never run in OS X. You need to install Windows on your machine.

Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4

You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive. You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

How do I install a game on the mac pro?

I cant figure it out. I'm trying to install half life 2. Can someone help me. And how do u know if you can play a game on a mac without downloading windows?

Without downloading Windows? Err, Half-Life 2 is a Windows game
Anyway, for HL2 there actually is a solution that does not require Windows.
You can get Crossover Mac:

(Note you have to pay for this product -- it's like $50), and it lets you run some Windows apps on the Mac (NOT all of them... as it only emulates some Windows APIs). As it turns out, HL2 is actually one of their supported apps... I actually think it is the ONLY supported game (how fortunate for you . It's worth a try.
Otherwise, it's Boot Camp and a Windows install for you.

How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

I don't play any Facbook games, but I'm assuming that they are played using your browser (Safari, Firefox, etc.).
