Pangea is shipping its newest game, Enigmo 2. more

[Nobody]

Enigmo 1 was great, I'm sure this is even better. The company rocks! They put out great games. My daughter (6 yrs. old) gets hours and hours of time playing games that require strategy, memory, hand eye coordination, brains--good stuff for a kid.
Enigmo 1 required learning the geometries/angles and uses of each tool--it required quite a bit of thought.
On top of all that the company has a great policy on piracy (not that they are for it, that would be lunacy). They require a serial number to play a game. No disk image is required--which is nothing but an annoying inconvenience--the game can be backed up (hello ASPYR, anyone listening?)--sensible.
On top of all that they realize that a game is often bought for the family, so it is okay to put it on the Mac in the study as well as the Mac in the kids room. They neither try and penalize their customers or make it extremely inconvenient.
I recommend just about all the games, Bugdom 2, Nanosaur II, Ottomagic, Enigmo, and whatever else they have is probably great also.

Got it last night. Addicting! Although it requires some re-thinking from the original now that it's 3D, you have to start thinking in three dimensions, which is more challenging that I thought.
Very fun. Worth every penny.
Now, where's Quake 4?

Just kidding.

Question: What is OpenAL?

[Peter Cohen]

It's a cross-platform audio API that more and more games are using. Built in to Tiger, available as a separate download for Mac OS X v10.3.9 and earlier. Pangea links to it if you need it.

Thank you.
The game was entertaining. Although my only quip was that the camera moved way too fast. When I set the sensitivity on the mouse and drift at their lowest, it was still frustrating to use. Same goes for zooming.

I still wish Apple would dip their hat into the gaming world like Microsoft and buy this company before someone else does. Pangea makes cute but awesome games and Apple could use a guaranteed source to load up their consumer boxes.
Atari is on the block again in its latest incarnation and may make a good acquisition for Apple too.
Though Nintendo would be the most suitable gaming company for Apple to aquire to bolster their iPod. They could merge the upcoming Video iPod with the Gameboy and up the ante or at least come up to par with the PSP.
