Dojo Mac is here!
It is no Unity, but it’s getting there 
Ok maybe not, but now Dojo got an OSX Cocoa Platform along with the already existing Windows and IOS ones;
here it is showing some random procedural demo I’ve testing it with (which I cannot avoid to find awesome)
Shooter running on Snow Leopard
I even updated a bit the README so you can at least make some sense from it. It can be downloaded from BitBucket as usual.
Also, it was a real pain to get a windowed Cocoa application running without ever using a .nib (and I hate those), mostly because Apple docs really want you to use NSApplicationMain and be fine with it.
It was easier than it looks after some demistifying, you only need to:
- create the first NSAutoReleasePool on the stack
- create the NSApplication sharedApplication
- create the NSWindow, the NSOpenglView, and the NSMenu for the menu bar
- create a NSTimer to receive timed callbacks
- call [sharedApplication run] to start the whole thing, and sit back
Now it runs with the exact same main.cpp used by Windows, and I’m happy enough with it
PS: still no mouse or keys
