Haha, that was a good idea. Okay, so just opening index.html won't work, since the game needs to be served off of a server. File paths will be are relative to server, not absolute, which is why you see that failed to load message. Which is probably why web versions of this game, and many other games today, don't work properly.I used to be able to play this game via mac by using the www folder and opening the HMTL file with a web browser. Now I always get various loading errors, depending on the web browser I use. Anyone know anything about this?
Okay, so long story short. On Mac, you should have python installed by default. So start up a simple HTTP server in the www folder, and you should be good to go.
Steps:
1. Download game and extract .rar file.
2. Go into the www folder.
3. Open terminal in folder (or, skip step 2, and you can start terminal and cd into the www folder).
4. Check Python version. run "python --version" (without the quotes)
5.a. For python version 2.x.x, run the following command in terminal in the www folder, (without the quotes again)
"python -m SimpleHTTPServer"
5.b. For python version 3.x.x, run the following command in terminal in the www folder, (without the quotes again)
"python3 -m http.server"
6. Open web browser and go to localhost:8000 and you should be able to play.
Tested on Linux, don't see why it shouldn't work on Mac (or Windows, if python is installed) either.
Cheers.
