Looks cool, although I don't know what it's doing.

I'll take a look at it tonight on my Macs. Since you're [thankfully] not using the Win API anywhere, this app really should work. If not, then that likely means something not right in the underlying Carbon- based widgetset used on OS X. Note that it's still considered "beta". If we can track down what doesn't work, a bug report should be filed.

What exactly doesn't work on OS X?

The files look like they haven't been touched (or compiled?) in a while. Did you test with 0.9.28.2 on Mac?

Phil,

I wrote the Lazarus version of SquareCell sometime ago. It is a stripped down version of this Delphi program:

I did test the program with version 0.9.28.2 on my Mac. It seems that the mouse events and status bar don't work correctly. Since the menus on Widows XP and OS X behave differently, the program needs to be rewritten to use buttons rather than menus to control the simulation and use menus to simply open dialogs.

I needed a CA simulator for my Mac and my original plan was to use Lazarus and FPC, but since that didn't work I wrote this Java program:

which I use daily.
