From a non programmer/developer

This game looks unbelievably amazing; don't be upset with me but I am not a programmer/developer - I read that unless I have some technical proficiency I should probably wait for the pre-packaged installer... does anyone know if there will be an installer for the alpha version - I tried installing the game but failed miserably... over and over again... and even if I have to wait for an installer is there any way a non-programmer/developer can make any contribution to all of this??? thanks

Please see this page: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/LatestRelease for more info on what packages are and aren't available. As we say the game is not finished yet so it's not guaranteed to be fun, and since it's still in development it can definitely be buggy, but feel free to download it and test it if you like ;)

For how you can contribute please see: http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/page.php?p=12831 (which has got info on how you can contribute both as a programmer/developer and non-develoepr :) ).

Our Mac support is currently not very good - we need Mac developers to help test and fix things and make it all work properly. I think it should be possible to compile the latest release on 10.5, but probably not 10.4 (I expect its tools are too old, and it definitely won't work on PPC) and probably not 10.6 (there are some 32/64-bit problems in the build system). Eventually we ought to have some precompiled bundles, but we don't have the expertise to set that up yet.
