Product Description:

Aqua Mines is a strategy game, in which you try to identify where the mines are located. One wrong click and its all over. Please send question, comments or bugs to: roastedsoftware@mac.com.

The tile sets were moved out of the download to make it smaller in size. If you'd like to get the additional tile sets you can go to http://www.roastedsoftware.com/sw/Aqua-Mines/.

Please not this was a quick update to address an issue that poped up on Intel Macs. I will be doing a more in depth review of the fixes and most-likely posting a less rushed update within the next two weeks.

If you'd like a copy of the older version please contact roastedsoftware@mac.com and I will send you a link to it.

I'll also see what I can do to bring back the old localization that the 1.x version of the game had. If you know how to and would like to help localize Aqua Mines please contact roastedsoftware@mac.com.

Some of the installed files under Resources/ don't give world read and execute permission. Admin users (in the admin group) can play the game just fine, but I found that I needed to manually fix permissions for the game to be playable by non-admin users.

In Terminal in the directory

/Applications/Aqua Mines.app/Contents

I ran the command (as an admin user)

sudo chmod -R o+rX .

(note that the X is followed by a space and a dot)

to fix up the permissions and everything now works.

Version 2.1.2 was a quick version to fix a problem introduced by the Security update yesterday. I didn't not properly test on a non intel mac or a non development system. I've just posted 2.1.3 which should fix the problem where it will not run on PPC machines and I've removed the dependancy on ZeroLink so it should work on systems with out the dev tools.<br><br>In addition to that I will be looking at the app more this weekend and the next to make sure its working well and considering some of the features I've been putting off for far to long.
