[QUOTE="bonch, post: 12359, member: 530"] Presumably, platform-agnostic issues like the sizing of interface elements, the lack of a Quit button, and other console elements that don't quite fit well on the desktop will be addressed for both Mac and PC eventually. Additionally, there are a few Mac-specific features Farsight might consider taking advantage of for improved OS X integration. - Multi-track gesture support for plunging/nudging via the MacBook trackpad, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad. Some examples might be two-finger dragging to pull a plunger, tapping to press a digital plunger, swiping to nudge in a given direction, and so on. - iCloud syncing of high scores and configuration settings, which would benefit the iOS versions as well, for those of us hopelessly addicted enough to buy PA more than once. - Window restoration support so OS X will automatically remember window size and fullscreen settings. - Mountain Lion has some mentionable features not covered by NDA, like Game Center and native Twitter/Facebook integration. The built-in Flickr sharing would be great for high score screenshots, and hey--maybe some in-game recording someday using AV Foundation and the native Vimeo support, so that people like me could upload their amateur drain videos to the same site where PAPA's professional tournament footage is hosted. I can dream. - Updated icon so that it's not a sharp square. I think it would look great if it was just the ball and logo in front of a transparent background. By law, Mac users must fret over trivial design details. [/QUOTE]
