Unable to read Apple project

Hi,

I watched the 30 minute video of Zero to Angry Birds in 30 Minutes and learned a lot. I then saw someone had posted mac versions of the source code and graphics here:

But I cannot view the LUA file in notepad in Windows or open the png files. Can these not be opened in Windows if saved in a mac? Sorry, I have not worked with a mac before. How can I open them? I tried using paint.net program on my pc.

Thanks!

Warren

I was able to use WordPad to read the LUA files.

The image files should be standard and as long as they are named .png, any Windows image viewer/editor that can handle the PNG format should be able to open them.

Text files on the other hand can provide a challenge switching between formats.

Traditionally, on a Mac, a CTRL-M (ASCII 13, sometimes shows as ^M) was the traditional end of line as it known as the CR or Carriage Return character. In the days of type writers, there were two steps to go to a new line: A Carriage Return would move the paper carrier back to the first position on the paper. Then a Line Feed would roll the paper up one line. On Unix based system (which Mac OSX is based on today), the typical end of line character is the Line feed, or ASCII-12 CTRL-L or ^L. MS-DOS, the background of Windows used a combination of CTRL-M CTRL-L (^M^L) to indicate an end-of-line. Microsoft has never updated Notepad from the days of old. For the most part Windows apps today should be smarter about dealing with line endings, but in Notepad your are likely to see files coming from Mac’s and Unix/Linux system to be strung together on one long line.

You should consider a better editor, like NotePad Plus for Windows. It will give you syntax highlighting, auto indenting and a bunch of other programmer friendly features.
