Dear Alan developers,

I have been trying to run some games on my macs using the MacArun interpreter and it failed. The interpreter runs itself and then why dragging the a3c file into the main window, it runs a bash script which displays some error message. See below :

/var/folders/2t/lttw83jj3s7bhl6l7nyggrhc0000gn/T/arun.command ; exit;                                             gosseyn@Excalibur ~ % /var/folders/2t/lttw83jj3s7bhl6l7nyggrhc0000gn/T/arun.command ; exit;
/var/folders/2t/lttw83jj3s7bhl6l7nyggrhc0000gn/T/arun.command: line 2: arun: command not found
<< Press enter to close this window >>

Then, I tried to edit the arun.command script in /var/folders/2t/lttw83jj3s7bhl6l7nyggrhc0000gn/T and to replace :

arun /Users/gosseyn/Desktop/abandoned.a3c

with :

/Applications/MacArun.app/Contents/Resources//Applications/MacArun.app/Contents/Resources

Then if I opened a Terminal and ran the arun.command script manually, and it worked. But of course this is not a very easy way to start the game for the basic users :-)

Also I noticed, once in the game, this is not possible to use the <backspace> key to go back on a command. I didn't go further.

Anyway, the Alan module in Gargoyles runs without any problem.

Thanks.
Alan.

PS : I can do the beta tester if there is anything to test on a mac. I had this issue using two different mac, with different architectures :
- a 2012 iMac with Intel I7 processor running MacOS 10.14 Mojave
- a 2021 MacBookAir with Apple M1 ARM processor running MacOS 12.4 Monterey.

Thanks for the report, Alan!

I'll have a new version up soon. I'll ping you when it's up. I appreciate the offer to be the guinea pig for MacOS versions ;-)
