I will start working on making Subspace Continuum to OS X. I would like some help-- and if your interested, you can download a .sit archive I made to start on the project.

http://www.fgsoft.net/icontinuum/

Basically Continuum is an online multiplayer-game where you fly around in a spaceship and try to gather flags and return them to your base. What I am trying to make is the client, which connects to the multiple servers to retrieve "zones," which house maps to download. The person who programmed Continuum is lazy and conceded so he won't give out his source code. I haven't gotten anywhere yet on the project, but the .sit archive includes:

- Continuum .38 for Windows (so you can try out the game and see what it's like)
- Coding to a start of a Linux version in C. (it includes protocal to help you get going)
- All the graphics and sounds for Continuum (in .bmp's and .wav's)
- A link to a site for information on Continuum protocal.

I would appreciate if anybody could get a start on this-- fgsoft.net (my company) will also get going. This will be open source eventually once we get everything put together.

If you get any part of the client working please email it to me. (tim@fgsoft.net)

Thanks!

P.S. Once we get part of the client working we'll post our source code here so we can work off of it.

If you get some "base" code written (a basic outline of the program) please post it so we can add onto it and make it better.

I really wish you luck with this project. :-) I hope you'll get enough help to complete, I would love to play this on Mac...no more extremely sluggish performance with VPC... :mad:

Well, did this never succeed? I could've used Continuum for Mac too...

My crappy Windows desktop... lol.

I'm interested too. I used to play subspace and then continuum years ago, really a great game if the zone settings are nice.

I moved this thread- seeing it in Announcements just got my hopes up. :)

The number of people playing in the zones seem to have been steadily declining, but a port to the Mac definitely might revive the game, and some zones like Gauntlet and Trench Wars seem to be immune to the decline in players :)
