I noticed that a new version of Commander Genius was released, and I'm sorry for the delay of the Mac version, as I didn't feel like doing it on the 31st like I saw gerstrong do, and then our household router died the next day, so I am unable to access the Internet with my computer, and am currently typing this with my phone. I'll release the update as soon as possible.

I'm not certain of the change in this version, but I'm sure gerstrong could fill us in.

Well, there are some changes but not groundbreaking I'd say:

(Taken from the Changelog)

- Thanks to Malvineous IMF Player got a bit faster. He found an interesting slow down in our code

- Now switches for platforms and bridges work

- Big IMF Bug I discovered has been fixed which produced crashes on some systems

- Better Platform code

- Some PC-Speaker sound improvements

- New CG Core which has a bit less code, is easier to understand,

uses more smartpointers and also seems to be a bit faster.

- Less graphic glitches in OpenGL Mode

Out of interest, do you optimise the CG code for pipelined systems so that it runs fast on mobile devices or do you simply write things in a logical order for greater human readability?

I know Pizza, this is your area, but I hope it helps.

I have uploaded a Mac Version for the ones who want to try it out.

Okay, my internet is fully restored, so I'll be here to upload new versions from now on. Sorry about any inconvenience!

Also, how did you do that gerstrong? I didn't think it was possible to compile for Mac without using a Mac.

I think compiling for different OS's may just be a compiler switch, but I'm not sure.

Hi @Pizza2004, there are some ways. You can use Hackintosh or Virtual Machine emulating EFI, but I have a real Mac here for some time and I built it on that machine.

@MOM4Evr: Not sure about the Mac version they have some differences. I don't think it is that easy to build it by just changing switches, but I might be wrong.

Anyway, more elements are now playable in Keen 4. It got at a nice state...

And Pizza2004, it's good to have you under us again Happy

Glad you got back online...
