How does the Mac version of DF work?
« on: January 29, 2017, 04:58:29 pm »
This is definitely a dumb question, because it must be mentioned somewhere, but I can't find it.

I note it's running something called "dwarfort.exe."  Is this in a Wine wrapper or some other kind of emulator?  I don't think so, because it seems to run pretty efficiently and comparably to how it runs on my PC laptop of similar functionality.

I would imagine it's the same code as linux and Windows, but compiled to run as a native mac app.

Eventually when you go far enough the insane start becoming the sane

It's just a normal Mac app but with .exe extension for reasons unknown to me.
