Kickabout League Reborn -- Mac edition
======================================

Portable edition. Nothing to install -- this folder contains everything,
including its own private copy of Java (one for Apple Silicon Macs, one for
Intel Macs; the right one is picked automatically).

FIRST TIME ONLY -- getting past the macOS warning
  macOS is cautious about programs that don't come from Apple's store. That's
  normal for a small indie game. Pick ONE of these, once:

  A) Terminal (most reliable)
     1. Unzip, then move the "Kickabout League Reborn" folder somewhere you
        like -- Documents or Desktop are good. (Not Downloads: it gets cleaned
        out, and your saved settings live inside this folder.)
     2. Open the Terminal app (press Cmd+Space, type Terminal, press Enter).
     3. Type   bash   followed by a space. Don't press Enter yet.
     4. Drag the file "Play Kickabout League Reborn.command" from Finder into
        the Terminal window. It pastes the file's location for you.
     5. Press Enter. The game starts.
     That first run also clears macOS's "downloaded from the internet" flag on
     this folder, so from then on you can just double-click the .command file.

  B) Without Terminal
     Double-click "Play Kickabout League Reborn.command". macOS will say it
     can't verify it -- click Done (NOT "Move to Trash"). Then open
     System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about
     "Play Kickabout League Reborn.command", click "Open Anyway" and confirm.
     (On macOS 14 or older you can instead right-click the file, choose Open,
     then Open.)

PLAYING
  Double-click  "Play Kickabout League Reborn.command"
  A Terminal window flashes up and the game opens. You can close that Terminal
  window -- the game keeps running. The first launch takes a little longer
  while it downloads the game data; after that it is cached in this folder and
  later launches are quick. The game connects to the live server automatically.
  Accounts are shared with the Windows version.

WINDOW SIZE
  On first launch you choose a window size (Original / Medium / Large).
  To change it later, double-click  "Change Window Size.command".

UPDATES
  The game keeps itself up to date automatically -- each launch quietly
  downloads any small changes before starting. You never need to re-download
  the whole thing.

DIFFERENCES FROM THE WINDOWS VERSION (this is the first Mac build)
  * The "Trap Mouse" option does nothing on Mac yet (it uses a Windows feature).
  * Discord "Playing..." status is Windows-only for now.
  * If the game ever shows an error screen with a "Restart Game" button, on
    Mac that button just closes the game -- double-click the launcher again.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
  Please send the file  userdata/client.log  (inside this folder) along with a
  description or screenshot of what happened. This is one of the first Mac
  builds, so hiccups are expected and fixable.

MOVING OR REMOVING IT
  Keep the folder together and you can move it anywhere. To remove the game,
  just delete this folder -- your saved settings and cache live inside the
  "userdata" folder here.
