It can also find random ladders and longest ladders. Alchemy 1.3 is a Carbonized app that runs natively on OS X. It also runs on OS 8.6/9.x if CarbonLib 1.3 or later is installed. The shareware fee is $20.

Soviet 2002 is a production of Fontosaurus Text, and is available there as a free download, in Macintosh and Windows formats.  All my fonts are donationware -- if you download them and use them/link them, please donate $2.00 (U.S.) to me.  There's usually a contest going on, related to what I'm trying to save up the money for. You may include this font on CDs or in online archives, but it MUST include all the contents of the original archive file, including the readme file and the web link files.  Should you include it on a CD for publication purposes, I would appreciate a contributor's copy.  Please email me at dan.bailey@fontosaurus.com for my snail-mail address.

OS Requirements: Mac OS9 Category: Games | Puzzles | Picture Abstract: Here's another classic style game familiar to most everyone - a slider puzzle. The object of the game is seemingly simple ... move the pieces of a jumbled picture around the board and put them into the correct order. Although it sounds easy enough, it can most certainly prove to be a challenging task. In addition to a variety of pictures that can be played with, the more adventurous gamer will find 4 different levels of difficulty to choose from. Difficulty: All ages.

BetterPlayer is a freeware open source utility that plays QuickTime movies without the clunky UN-Mac like interface that was introduced into QuickTime Player and Sherlock 2. BetterPlayer plays QuickTime movies that are either dropped onto the application or opened within. Once a QT movie has been opened, users can change the file type and creator so that the file will open with BetterPlayer by default. Other useful options that have been added are automatically play and loop options that can be applied to every file individually. This is especially cool for those that have a favorite MIDI file they like to listen too, just double click and the file will start to open. To make life easier, these settings can become default settings as well as the option to automatically change the file type and creator to that of BetterPlayer. Just as important as applying these settings, they can also be removed restoring the file to it's natural state. Since the only thing that BetterPlayer adds is a STR# to the resource fork, no data can be damaged by the application. Foxchange Shareware has released BetterPlayer as open source software so that other programmers can extend the application's functionality. Several things are planned for future releases, the ability to add a resource fork to a file that doesn't have one so BetterPlayer can work with it, sizing options, remembering window positions as well as basic editing features. BetterPlayer is the foundation for another unnamed application that Foxchange Shareware may be developing in the possible future. Currently BetterPlayer 1.0 is available for download at ftp://ftp.foxchange.com The latest version of BetterPlayer can be found at http://www.foxchange.com As well as the goal of producing high quality games for the Mac market, Foxchange Shareware is also going to be introducing utilities into the Mac market.
