Hey guys,

Benn a long time since turing (used it in highschool, now in 3rd year of college), found turng rly neat to just mess with, is there a IDE/compiler for MacOSX? Dont rly want to use a VM

There is no native compiler.

You could get Turing working via a compatibility layer such as CrossOver (commercial implementation of Wine).

Alternatively, a number of other languages would likely serve you better at this point. http://processing.org/ features much of what was good about Turing

I've used it a little bit with Wine and it seems to work fine. I agree with Tony though; I think it'd be better in the long run to find another, more supported language.

There are whole tutorials on the processing language, at processing.org , in grade 12 engineering we have to learn it on the website

i do a lot in Java, C, C++, QNX etc, just sorta wanted to dapple again in the language that inspired my career choice
