Test Build : Help find problems!

Hey , 

So I built the latest Mac version of Lab2D today and it has all the new bells and whistles like the shaders and FBO RTT stuff. 

Don't worry if you don't know what these mean : If you have an Intel based Mac I'd appreciate some data.

Step 1) Get the build 

Download the zip file ( 3.3 mb )

Step 2) Run the .app file

Make sure it's unzipped, obviously.

Step 3) Tell me what happens

You can comment, email laboratory2d at gmail.com, ping me @FuzzYspo0N on twitter etc.

If there are any errors in the console ( push ` / ~ key to open the console ), errors with the shader, or maybe a crash or anything,
let me know! If everything ran smoothly i'd like to know as well, especially if you can tell me what graphics card you have and what frames per second you get (top left top number).

Should look like this, if things went well (except the red colored text). Oh, and i know that the console edit box is rendering blocks. I will fix that.

Did you target 10.6? I wasn't able to run it. (I've got 10.5 and haven't upgraded because Lion is supposed to be out this summer.) I get "You cannot use this version of the application Laboratory with this version of Mac OS X."

In fact I may have, since i rebuilt the project files a bit earlier on today. I usually set it down to 10.4 or 5 but yea, seems to be 10.6.

Thanks for testing ! The actual build that will be on the website in the next few days will keep this in mind ( it's sleep time now ).

This time I got a crash: "The application Laboratory quit unexpectedly."

Are you expecting any frameworks that I might not have installed, perhaps?

I opened the error report and it says: (I hope this is useful.)

Hey. So, i'm running osx 10.6.7 2.66GHz i7 w/8Gig ram. The 1st number is flickering pretty fast, but seems to be ~490-510.
