I enjoyed getting Mattn's new package and running it, and for a while I had a good game running. Until it crashed and made my computer irresponsive..
Some bugs that I found:
* It is not obvious that you have to press a button to switch to a new resolution. I found myself in 1024x768 and because of the window decoration, that means the bottom of the window is pushed offscreen, which makes in impossible to scroll down. This can be solved by rotating, but it is just tedious. As all recent Macs are widescreen, I suggest making 1152x720 the starting resolution, unless you are aiming for older Macs as well (as in iBooks).
* After I got my first UFO, I could only sell it because I do not have a UFO yard. I thought I was supposed to keep it in a workshop. Or maybe that is the default, but it was not obvious.
* I had a nasty crash as soon as my second ground mission came up that kept me from switching away, and therefore made the whole MacBook irresponsive. I had to switch it off and back on to get anywhere, which is very bad form. I stupidly forgot to get the logs and they were overwritten when I started it again.
Will try more. My basic gripe is the the UI is not intuitive in some features.
