Minima (Feneric) Mac OS

Posted on  by

Minimize is a global Mac keyboard shortcut that should work with all apps. This keyboard shortcut for Minimize is available in Mac OS X and may also be available with other versions of Mac OS. Starting with Mac OS X Yosemite, Apple offered simplified functionality for the buttons for closing, increasing and minimizing program windows. On Mac, these buttons are traditionally located in the upper left corner of the program window. Minima is an adventure RPG in the style of the older Ultima games (Ultima I, Ultima II, Ultima III, Ultima IV, & Ultima V) as played on the Commodore 64 and 128 computers. Just like the original Ultima games, it includes a world view, enterable towns, and 3D dungeon displays. Talon configs for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Very much in progress. This is also intended to work with both Dragon Naturally Speaking and wav2letter. Notes: commands are subject to change. We do our best to minimize changes, but we are moving to an objectverb standard slowly but surely. See the printer's documentation for instructions on installing the printer driver. See Mac OS X Help for instructions on how to set up a default printer. If you don't have a printer connected to the computer, create a virtual PostScript printer that you can set up as a default printer. To create a virtual PostScript printer (Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6).

Starting with Mac OS X Yosemite, Apple offered simplified functionality for the buttons for closing, increasing and minimizing program windows. On Mac, these buttons are traditionally located in the upper left corner of the program window. Clicking on the green window scaling button in applications that do not support macOS full-screen mode will result in the window simply increasing to the maximum size. In the programs that support the native full-screen mode, clicking on the button will allow you to deploy the application to full screen.

macOS offers a number of other window management options, for example, reducing the window size to a minimum without, stretching one side of the application window to there minimal size or hiding all windows.

I bring to your attention a few useful tips that allow you to simplify working with application windows on Mac.

Hiding Application Windows on Mac

In order to hide (almost the same as the minimized) active application, press the “Command” + “H” combination or select the “Hide” parameter in the application menu.

To hide all windows of open applications, except for the one you are working with, use the keyboard shortcut “Command” + “Option” + “H” on the keyboard or select the option “Hide others” in the program menu.

Minimize the Current Application Window

“Command” + “M” The combination minimizes the current window. This is useful when you want to temporarily pause a window.

To restore a minimized window, click the application icon in the Dock. If you have minimized several windows, right-click on the icon to bring up the context menu and open the required window from it.

Hide and Minimize All Mac Windows

“Command” + “Option” + “H” + “M” this effect is instantaneous and immediately clears the display of all application windows, without closing or closing any of the applications.

Resize Application Window to Mac

Mac

Changing the window size is quite simple – move the mouse cursor to the edge or corner of the window, click and drag the edge or corner of the window to the right, left, up or down. To resize only parts of the window, double click on one of its edges and the window will automatically turn to the right side of the screen.

Conclusion

With these options, you can easily manage any of the windows on the screen, without having to touch each side or corner separately.

Minima is an adventure RPG in the style of the older Ultima games (Ultima I, Ultima II, Ultima III, Ultima IV, & Ultima V) as played on the Commodore 64 and 128 computers. Just like the original Ultima games, it includes a world view, enterable towns, and 3D dungeon displays. It also features graphics, sound effects, and music that should help one recollect those classics. More importantly, it is a fully playable (and winnable) game with its own backstory, plot, setting, and characters. It was written for PICO-8 and can be run on Linux, Mac, MS-Windows, and Raspberry Pi. It can also be played through the Web at:https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=31831

If you like Minima, you may also enjoy Anteform, a game written using the same engine and sharing the same user interface.

wow, i like your ultima-style rpg minima, and anteform

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I've really enjoyed hearing back from people who've played them and had fun with them.

I made an engine on top of PICO-8. With fairly minor changes it ought to be usable for other games. I put a few notes about how to start doing so on the GitHub page at https://github.com/Feneric/Minima

Note though that the limits in PICO-8 are pretty fierce and the production version of the code had to be made a little ugly in order to fit within them. It's probably easier learning the structure from an early version before looking at the production one.

Yes, you can play it online at: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=31831

Please note that while it works in mobile browsers, it requires a keyboard.

Hello,

I completed the game and it was a fun ride.

I have got one suggestion, I think bumping onto an enemy could make the character attack it.

Minima Generic Mac Os Sierra

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Minima (generic) Mac Os X

I did actually think about that but ended up not going that way for a couple of reasons. The first is that the games Minima strives to be like all use the 'a' key for 'attack', too, and anyone who's used to those will probably have the whole 'a -> direction' sequence pretty well entrenched in muscle memory already. The second is that there are a couple of areas in the game where it makes a difference. One of these I won't go into because I don't want to give anything away that players can figure out by playing themselves, but the second is that whether or not bumping is forgiven makes a big difference in towns.
