I know this is an old forum, but I am putting this down for anyone that stumbles upon it. 1. It is hard to port a game to Mac, but wrapping it with a program like cider is simple. Google Cider for Mac. 2. Boot Camp is a free utility found in the /applications/utilites/ folder of all intel macs. It helps you dual boot and install drivers for windows xp, vista, and 7. Using it legally requires a purchased copy of windows, which is very pricey. 3. Wine, and programs similar to it, like Darwine, are normally glitchy and unstable when running windows applications. Sometimes wine will fail to install a program, and setting it up requires use of the command line, difficult for many people. 4. Programming for Mac is very simple. You can build straight .C files and compile them from the command line with GCC, or you can use Apple's two programming languages, objective-c and Cocoa, and use apple's xcode developer program, with a gui compiler, and Interface Builder, a gui to design simple user interfaces.
