macOS

Not available yet.

Coming soon*

* macOS support is planned. Today you can develop and export games for Linux and Windows desktops (keyboard input) and package homebrew for the Nintendo 3DS family (New 3DS XL and related).

Export targets

  • Linux — package a standalone desktop game with tngc (default --target desktop), playable with keyboard.
  • Windows — package a .exe with tngc --target windows (requires a Tangy source tree + Windows/MinGW build).
  • Nintendo 3DS family — package a .3dsx with tngc --target n3ds for homebrew on New 3DS XL and related systems.
  • macOS — planned.
