Mindless Automaton is for Linux and works rather well. If you can find it.

unfortunately, apprentice is not for the mac. and mindless automaton is pretty much impossible to run too. there's a bunch of programmer type dudes trying to get it working on their forums, and no one has had any success. so the best thing is to wait for this 'java version' :p
ill be right there with you on my mac playing haha, i wanna play this from my couch and not my desk Sad

Mindless automaton DOES work on mac, you just need to know how to port it to mac osx.
the first hit on google would have helped you out.
google is your friend (a lot of the times)

thanks nico!! you're the man (or woman) if this works, ill keep yall updated lol.

EDIT:

alright, so i started with installing darwinports and fink.
did sudo port install mindless with darwin ports and got errors.
tried the fink command and it didnt work either.
apparently had trouble installing and compiling gtk2

so had to scour my house for my osx disks, and installed X11 from the disk, tried the sudo port install mindless again and it got a little further, said there was no C compiler available. so registered at the developers section of apple and downloading xcode at the moment. after this is finished i'll update again as to whether or not installing mindless works.

EDIT 2:

alright it got installed, took around an hour or two on my ibook g4, anyways, mindless works fine, however, i cant call other people, and i cant host apparently. when i try calling others it just kinda freezes after i click ok, its not a complete freeze but the program isnt responding any longer.
anyone have answers for this?
