Mac Crack Attack 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
A note on the "phone home issue"
Mac Crack Attack version 1.1 and greater has an auto-update feature that checks if a new version is available at sourceforge. For the release of v1.1.0 a bug found its way into the auto-update code (basically one line of code was missing that checked if on-line). Version 1.1.1 was released soon after this was discovered, this version should not have this problem (if you experience this problem with version 1.1.1 please contact the author). To permanently disable version checks add (inside the "dict" tag) <key>version_check_disabled</key> <true/> to ~/Library/Preferences/MacCrackAttack.plist after the game has been succesfully run once to create this file.

The "negative" comments are all related to previous versions of this application and the issues have been resolved. Keep in mind that the single most effective way of improving free and open-source software is to use it and give useful feedback to the authors.

still quits if it can't phone home
That's a bit strange. As of version 1.1.1 the autoupdate works in the following way: 1) try to ping http://crackattack.sf.net. If that fails (takes a few seconds), start the game without version checking. 2) If ping was succesful connect to http://crackattack.sf.net and download the latest version info then start the game. The game should never just "quit". Possibly it could "hang" with spinning cursor if the ping succeded but the version info file was not reachable. As of version…

Please ignore the previous post, it looked good in preview but was totally garbled on submission. A fix has been released and version 1.1.1 should not have this problem.

This is a problem with the auto-update feature that checks for new version. Hopefully I can have a fix ready soon. To solve the problem for now one could create an property list named MacCrackAttack.plist in ~/Library/Preferences/ with bool entry of true for the key version_check_disabled. This would look like:
< plist version="1.0">
< dict>
version_check_disabled
< /dict>
< /plist>
In other words,…
