I want to do a text based game like my old Windows Minecraft.bat game, but on a Mac.
Does anyone know Terminal (Mac) programming.

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for, but I think all Macs come with Xcode.

See that Terminal that comes with Mac?
Use that.

It is most stuff the same as windows. BTW, just rename a .bat file .command, and it should work mostly. You might need to make a few changes though.

lol, java is something completely different. IF this is really what you want, use terminal. However, you can do everything you want to, and more with java. Do java

terminal only codes the mac and alters your mac or whats on it, if you try to make a game in terminal it will mess up your computer

no. Using echo, if statements, and variables, you can technically make a reasonable game, but it is much easier with java.

well echo uses .sh which uses terminal commands, but I agree that jdk is better.

Dude, I made a VERY complex Asteroids game with Terminal. It didn't mess up my computer.

I have no problem with Java. In fact, it's great.
FAKE MOD EDITS FTW!

OK, murpho, I think I know what your problem is.
To make game, type vi *filename*.c, then press enter. You are now editing a C file in vi.

You should use apple script, python or java

Applescript is def. not what you are looking for, Java is good, and I haven't had much experience with python.

Why can't you use JDK, Java is amazing, and terminal stuff doesn't look as prefessional.

Oh, you can have it. It's a C file.
I'm thinking of making it a Flash file and putting it on a website.

Haha, I say that all the time.
Scratchthatguys, don't listen to these peoples. Use Xcode. It has java, C++, and objective C.

I know nothing about it, except the the Old C&C games and Dune was programmed on a mac
