I'm planning on making an OS X binary for Gravit soon. At the moment
you need to compile this from the source code.

It's very easy to compile SDL, SDL_ttf, SDL_image source code on Mac
OS X.

you just need download and execute some scripts(*1) at each of them
and do the same to Gravit .

After that, type in Gravit and you will see the console of Gravit.

*1 script at console
1. ./configure
2. sudo make install (input your password)

Hi Gocrazy

I'm sorry but it doesn't look easy to me as i don't know what SDL,
SDL_ttf and so on is, and where i
download them...

you'll have to explain it to me in far simple terms...

thanks for trying though...

source code:
SDL:http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
SDL_image:http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
SDL_ttf:http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/

Download it and unzip.
Use Termal(at Applications/Utilities)
Go to folds(SDL,image,ttf) and execute command:

1. ./configure
2. sudo make install (input your password)

Do the same to Gravit.

You are welcome.

Please make a screen saver. It should choose some random masses and
velocities and colours, which normalised so that the whole has zero
velocity and some angular momentum, and away it runs. Obviously
collisions merge things—though near-grey colours might be replaced
with a random strong colour.

Please? I had one, using my own terrible gravity code, for Mac OS 7
(or was it 6, I forget), and it was addictive to watch.
