[NTLK] Simulating the Newton: new version!

[Matthias Melcher]

Hi Friends,

I put a new app online: https://github.com/MatthiasWM/VSNewt/releases/tag/v0.2.0

"NewtPlay" is a macOS app that loads and runs Newton packages. Not everything is implemented, and only about 10% of games I tested run without issues. I will try to add features as we go.

Just download the app and put it in Application or wherever you can find it.

Double-clicking will open NewtPlay. 

"Run a Package..." : use the file chooser to run any Newton package

"Recent" : select a package from the list

"Make a Shortcut..." : if a package runs well, this will create a .app file that runs your package using a previously installed NewtPlay

"Make an app..." : this takes your package and puts it into an .app bundle, creating a standalone application that you can take and move to another Mac without installing anything. Just open the generated app.


If you want to make life really easy, rename the .pkg file to .nspkg . MacOS will now recognize them as Newton Script Packages. Double clicking on files ending in .nspkg should launch them automatically in NewtPlay.


Have fun
