NanoFL under Mac OS X

NanoFL 3.0.5 currently only features a .exe binary for windows. The program itself is wrapped with XULRunner from Mozilla and that makes it easy to run natively on Mac OS X.

If you have a current Firefox there is no need to install XULRunner(which anyway seems deprecated). You can execute XULRunner apps with -app switch. Use Wine to install the game and then copy the installation folder somewhere accessible. In the terminal you then execute the following to start NanoFL.

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app 
/Users/headchant/Downloads/nanofl/application.ini

or more generic

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -app /path/to/your/application.ini

Use no line breaks and edit the path to your installation of NanoFL.

This should start NanoFL inside a Firefox instance with almost all features as the windows version. Have fun! Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 14.10.08

Pico-8 Palette CLR for OSX

Pico-8 is an awesome fantasy console by lexaloffle. I really wanted to use the palette in other pixel art editors so I made a clr file, to be used with the standard color picker under OSX.

How To Use:

  1. Download the pico8.clr

  2. Copy the file to ~/Library/Colors/

If you open your color picker (for example in the amazing pikopixel pixel art editor) you will be able to find it in the drop down menu under the ‘Color Palettes’ tab.
