Hi!  This is the Mac Port of Dwarf Fortress.  As such, it is even more experimental than DF itself, and you should use it with caution.  We're hoping to iron out issues that arise as DF progresses.

Credit goes to Matthew Moss and eli for doing most of the work on the port!


Known Mac-specific issues:

Game logic and screen refreshes have not yet been decoupled, so some parts of world generation in particular take a little longer (you'll see it count through individual numbers instead of skipping some).

Mouse cursor disappears over DF window

FPS counter (and likely other technical init options) doesn't work


In general, DF may not behave like a proper Mac application since I'm unfamiliar with some of the standards.  Please drop by the forums with suggestions and bug reports!
