Sets - 1.0.8

Writeup says it will run on 10.4 PPC, but it doesn't. I get the icon zoom as if it was launching, but nothing else.

I recommend that you check your local download settings. Something on your end may be interfering with the download since the download works just fine on all platforms I've tried. You could also download the file directly from "http://homepage.mac.com/andrewminer/andrew/sets/Sets_1_0_5.dmg.gz".

The author did a good job of implementing the game of Set, but it won't be around much longer. Set Enteprises is very vigorous about defending its copyright, and will likely be sending him a cease-and-desist order before too long. It's pretty easy to write a computer simulation of this game, and as I said, this is actually a well-written game, though I'd prefer it if the cards gave better animated feedback when making a set. Also, it seems like the remaining cards get shuffled, which is a bit confusing.

This seems a nice version of the game Set. That said, acknowleding the original authors of the game, their trademark on the name 'Set', and probably talking to them to as to get permission to republish their game in an electrnc format - when they have a Java version already - might be a good thing, at least a polite thing. See http://www.setgame.com/set/index.html for more details on the original, and http://www.setgame.com/ for more games from the same people.
