Is there a reason to do this?
(i) generally it's far better to use the standard installation
package to TAR;
(ii) especially for a game there hardly seems to be any reason to use
*any* installer: put it to a DMG, and let the user to copy it
anywhere he wants to.
We ones did a fast and ugly way to
check when the installation was done by detach a thread and do a
copy of
a readme from install location to Desktop.
Don't. Put the Readme to the DMG too, and let the user decide where
to (and whether at all) he wants it to go.
3. Place the game icon in the Dock. I've serached a lot on how to but
havent been able to find out how.
Don't. Let the user decide whether at all, and if so, where in Dock
the icon belongs.
Any kinds souls that can help me out here?
First of all, be you kind to the users, not forcing them to accept
your choices. They can do their own all right.
