Hi, Maria, I actually pretty much spelled it out in my message below.You have to download it, then go through the readme file, because there are lots of dependencies to install. Three of them, and you will probably have to google at least one, because the links are broken. Once you get all of those installed, you do the following.
You change directories with cd followed by the file path. You want to be in the game folder. For me, it's applications/games/soundrts/ and then you press enter. Then you start it by typing python soundrts.pyc . This is the file you want to open, so this will launch the game. Here's what I typed in Terminal once I downloaded it and moved it to my applications folder: cd /applications/games/soundrts python soundrts.pyc The first line changes my directory. The second line executes the game, which is inside that directory.
