Mac OS X launcher

From Chocolate Doom

The Mac OS X version of Chocolate Doom includes a minimalist launcher program for selecting the IWAD files to use and starting the game. The purpose of this is to make installation of Chocolate Doom on OS X straightforward and congruent with the rest of the operating system.

A brief list of features:

• A .DMG archive file is generated, and Chocolate Doom can be installed simply by dragging the "Chocolate Doom" icon into the Applications folder.
• The locations of the IWAD files for Doom, Doom II, Final Doom and Chex Quest can be configured, and the desired game selected from the launcher window
• Extra command line parameters can be entered.
• Launching of PWADs and dehacked patches is straightforward, as the launcher includes file associations for .WAD and .DEH files. Double clicking on a PWAD in the Finder configures the appropriate command line parameters to load the game with the PWAD.
• The setup tool can be accessed from a button in the launcher window.

• The launcher can also be run using GNUstep under Linux, for debugging/testing purposes.

The launcher is only intended for use under Mac OS X; there are no plans to develop a similar version for other platforms.
