I've had QB64 running on my Mac for a few years. I tried to install QB64pe and ran into problems. I downloaded the latest version (3.5.0), and extracted it to my Applications folder. I assumed I already had the Xcode installation from when I installed QB64, but did an install anyway. I ran the setup_osx.command, and it generated an error and failed. I attached the terminal window text below. I'm running macOS High Sierra 13.13.6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on a remake of my Worm game, that allows a player to play against the computer. So far, it's just the algorithm for a basic unintelligent response from the computer.
It recognizes a "word" that's being constructed, finds a word that contains that group of letters, and adds a letter to either the beginning or end of that group.
More later.
I used Terry's method of pixel collision detection and added it to my Box Collision detection code because I saw Terry's method as an extension of Box Collision. So in same amount of code as Terry's self contained PixelCollide routine, I have 5 routines that give me more than just Pixel collision detection, mainly BoxCollsion TF and Intersect2Boxes plus minor Max and Min Functions which is commonly needed.
Anyway after getting that going I revised my spider code with an Experiment of turning one spider when it collides instead of reversing both spiders when there is collision. It turned out to be nice effect so I leave the code here but the whole collision code zip package has:
Quote:Box and Pixel Collision pkg Manifest Jan 28, 2023 b+
3 Pairs of Image Files all png:
1. Red and Green Ovals from Terry's original post at forum.
2. starRed and starBlue
3. Rock1 and rock2
3 Pixel Collision Demo Files:
1. Pixel Intersect from Box Intersect.bas - code I used to combine Terry's pixel
collision detection method with my own BoxCollision Code to factor Terry's
Pixel Collide single self contained routine into 5 Routines that do more than
just pixel collision detection with about same amount of Lines-Of-Code.
This one took a whole day of frustration to track down a bug holding up my test
of it with Spiders. But now it's pretty good so not only do you have Pixel
Collision detection, you have Max, Min Functions, BoxCollision TF function
Intersect2Boxes that returns the intersect box which was used in Pixel Collision
Detection, PixelCollision& that returns first pixel detected as well as return
TF collsion.
This is pure Pixel Collison detection code though needing the other routines
to reduce PixelCollision code itself. But also used Intersect2Boxes code to
display the ovelap of the 2 images when they did along with the yellow circle
for the actual pixel collsion, first detected when that happened.
2. Pixel Intersect from Box Intersect full demo.bas - has updated Box Collision
demo code before PixelCollision showing off BoxCollison TF and Intersect2Boxes
that returns the box of Intersect.
3. Terry Update Pixel Collision.bas - demo that I modified a tiny bit for testing
pairs of images to see how good it was. Nice approach Terry Richie!
3 Spiders files:
1. Spiders with Terrys Pixel Collisions.bas - this one I posted at forum already
in Programs Board.
2. Spiders with b+ factored Collisions.bas - Same Spiders Code as above testing
the 5 factored routines to make sure they worked the sameas 1. Spiders file.
3. Spiders refactored Collison Experiment.bas - My feature app! I experimented
with another approach to spider collisons turning only the first one of the two
that collided. Nice effect! Now I can use 100% collision for spider reactions.
Got's to check this one out!

Something QB64 does just like QB45, and I like it.
I've got somebody in another forum wondering why anybody would ever want that.
I'm thinking why wouldn't you want the ability to cycle through colour attributes in either direction and be able to loop around to the other side when you reach an end?
I can't think off the top of my head how I would use it, but it instantly struck me as "that can be really frigging useful," especially when setting up custom palettes that have nice colour transitions through the circle of colours, regardless of direction.
Just bringing that up here in case folk were unaware of that, or in case anybody has a ready example in their back pocket, or in case anybody has thoughts one way of the other.
Is there a (simple) way to define a new single character in QB64, without changing to a different character-set?
I need a vertical line (like |) but in the right-hand column of the character-space. I know I can use graphics (Pset and Draw) to do this but this doesn't seem to render correctly on different screen resolutions.
Mastermind is a logic game (I believe it's still available). The object it to deduce a hidden code of six different color buttons using responses to one's guesses. A black button means a color is in the correct position, a whit button means a color is correct but in the wrong position.
Recently I decided to dust this off to experiment with QB64PE graphics and mouse ops. I originally wrote this as a text mode game for my TRS-80.
Enjoy, and feel free to offer constructive criticisms.

Pardon the ignorance of a newbie. I've been using QB64 off and on for years, I'm not really sure of it's relationship with QB64PE. I'm using what I think is the latest QB64 version 2.1, but I see the PE version is at 3.5.0?
Anyway, here is my issue:
Dragging and dropping into a BASIC program doesn't work on a Mac. So I have found it very useful to use the clipboard commands. I can easily find a file using Finder (the Mac equivalent of File Explorer) and copy it to the clipboard for my BASIC program to use. The problem I have is trying to extract the PATH information for the filename on the clipboard.
In Finder if you select files/folders, then right-click on them, you can copy them to the clipboard. But it doesn't copy the PATH information. But there is a way. Right-click on the files/folders. Instead of clicking on the "Copy" entry, hold down the [Option] key. "Copy" becomes "Copy as Pathnames". It copies the entire PATH and filename to the clipboard. If you are keyboard centric, use [Command]+[Option]+[C]. But there is a snag (bug?) with _CLIPBOARD$. It doesn't return all the data from the clipboard properly when there are file PATHs involved. Here is a simple program:
_CLIPBOARD$ = ""
PRINT "Copy the files to the clipboard."
DO UNTIL _CLIPBOARD$ <> ""
LOOP
CLS
PRINT _CLIPBOARD$
SLEEP
SYSTEM
If I select multiple files/folders in Finder, _CLIPBOARD$ returns all the titles (without the PATHs).
If I select multiple files/folders with their PATHs as described above, _CLIPBOARD$ only returns the first title. I know it contains all of them because I can paste to a blank document and they are all there with their PATHs.
For example, if I select the following files using “Copy Items”:
If I select them using “Copy Items As Pathnames”, _CLIPBOARD$ returns:
/Applications/QB64/Programs/File1.rtf
But if I paste the clipboard into a blank document I get:
/Applications/QB64/Programs/File1.rtf
/Applications/QB64/Programs/File2.txt
/Applications/QB64/Programs/File3.pdf
So I know the information is there, I just can't get to it. On a Mac the clipboard is loaded by either "Copy to clipboard" or "Copy path to clipboard", in either case QB64 should be able to read the contents of the clipboard.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...
