Download and Install Instructions

For Windows

  1. Download the Game

    • On the game’s itch.io page, click the Download button.
    • Save the .7z file to a location on your computer (e.g., your Downloads folder).
  2. Extract the Game Files

    • If you don’t have 7-Zip installed, download it from https://7-zip.org.
    • Steps to Extract:
      • Right-click the downloaded .7z file.
      • Select 7-Zip > Extract Here (or choose a folder to extract the files to).
      • Once extracted, you’ll see a folder containing the game files.
  3. Launch the Game

    • Open the extracted folder.
    • Find the game executable file (e.g., UAV_Intercept_Sim.exe).
    • Double-click the .exe file to start the game.
  4. Troubleshooting

    • If the game doesn’t run:
      • Ensure you have the latest DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables installed.
      • Confirm that your system meets the minimum requirements.
    • File Extraction Issues:
      • Make sure the .7z file fully downloaded and that 7-Zip is properly installed.

For macOS

  1. Download the Game

    • On the game’s itch.io page, click the Download button.
    • Save the .7z file to a location on your Mac (e.g., your Downloads folder).
  2. Extract the Game Files

    • Use an extraction tool like The Unarchiver (free from the Mac App Store) to extract the .7z file.
    • Steps to Extract:
      • Right-click (or Control-click) the .7z file.
      • Select Open With > The Unarchiver.
      • The extracted folder containing the game files will appear in the same location.
  3. Launch the Game

    • Open the extracted folder.
    • Look for the game file (e.g., UAV_Intercept_Sim.app).
    • Double-click the .app file to start the game. If macOS blocks the file, follow these steps:
      • Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.
      • Click Open Anyway for the game.

      • Arch: sudo pacman -S p7zip
    • Steps to Extract:
      • Open a terminal in the folder where the .7z file is located.
      • Run: 7z x UAV_Intercept_Sim.7z
      • This will create a folder containing the game files.
  3. Launch the Game

    • Open the extracted folder.
    • Look for the game executable file (e.g., UAV_Intercept_Sim.x86_64).
    • Run the file by entering ./UAV_Intercept_Sim.x86_64 in the terminal. If the game file is not executable, make it executable by running:
      • chmod +x UAV_Intercept_Sim.x86_64
  4. Troubleshooting

    • If the game doesn’t run:
      • Ensure you have the required dependencies installed. Most Linux games require libraries like libSDL2 or OpenGL.
      • Check the game’s documentation for any additional requirements.
