Port DirectX Games to the Mac

Posted by pudge on from the we-just-don't-have-enough-games dept.

tassii writes "MacCentral reports that Coderus' MacDX provides PC game developers with a way of moving that DirectX code to the Mac without having to rewrite it from scratch. Coderus claims that most code which uses DirectX can simply be recompiled and linked to the MacDX libraries. Maybe I can finally play the full Command and Conquer series."

  2. Mac users don't play games by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Despite all that PowerPC power, macs have:

    1) One button mouse which is useless for games
    2) Graphics cards that don't cut the mustard for 3D gaming.
    3) Lack of warez for free gaming.
    4) No cracks hosted on www.gamecopyworld.com

    Sorry mac users but no games for you. Buy an X Box or something ;)

    News flash for ya: Linux has never lead, and never will.

    Linux is a clone of UNIX. The GUI most distros ship with it is a hybrid of the "old-skool" UNIX X windowing system and Windows95. The most popular Linux office suite is a clone of MS-Office.

    That is why copying yet another Windows or UNIX technology is a "great win for linux."

    Linux is not about breaking new ground, it's about walking on the old ground freely and for free.

  4. Dear Apple by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
