Calling all mac users out there, with the help of Borg and others, I am working on a mac version of Borg's Virtual Seed Tray utility for Plant Tycoon. If you'd like to help, maybe beta test or even code, the more the merrier (to an extent) I'm doing the whole program in Xcode 3.1, using Cocoa objective-C.

I would like to help... perhaps as a beta tester.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been wishing for a Mac version of that wonderful addition to PT. Unfortunately, don't know too much about coding, but have done some beta testing and would be more than happy to help with that. Feel free to let me know what I can do.

Because I'm having to basically start from scratch, my first Virtual Seed Tray won't have all the cool things that Borg's windows version currently has. One thing I discovered today is that I have the ability to localize my program (that means I can make all the words into multiple languages) I know there is at least 1 person here where English isn't the first language, but I was wondering if I should incorporate other languages into my program?

I think that it's a good idea because of those others who aren't registered.

I'll beta test.

Ok, here is a VERY alpha version. Again, I'm having to do this from scratch so bare (or is that bear? ugh English is such a horrid language) with me. Really what I have so far does almost nothing. Here's what it does do:
- checks if plant tycoon is running, if it is running, disable anything that would make problems (pops up alert whenever you hit a button)
- loads save game information and populates list to choose from
- under "Tools" you can now view both Flowers and Foliage pictures just like in Borg's windows version (working on Print function)

That's really all this version does, I'm finished with the "About" option under the Virtual Seed Tray menu, and the Help is there but completely empty.
oh, and here's the website heh

Nice of you to consider other languages, but it seems if someone is comfortable enough with English to play the game, they'd be ok with the VST in English too.

I downloaded your VST, copied all my backup files, etc., but unfortunately, the program won't open. I'm thinking you're probably using osx 10.4 or higher, in which case, for now, I won't be of any help unfortunately. I'm running 10.3.9. I've been considering upgrading, but am afraid it would mess up more than it would fix on my 'puter.

Hello,
I was so excited to see that there is a VST for Mac, but to be honest with you, I actually have no idea at all what it does or how it works. Does it allow me to keep all seeds as if I had an additional tray in the game? And how do I use it? All it shows me is numbers and letters and nothing seems to work and people here are talking about backup-files and i am confused!!!

Forgive me if I'm dumb, but I seem to be missing something. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thx in advance!
(btw: I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.5)
