Xavagus Prime Software has announced the release of an updated version of a classic Mac game: OIDS. It's an arcade-style action game that first made its debut more than a decade ago.
- Launch into the ultimate head trip as you blast through psychotic robots in a retro 70's sci-fi action adventure from Double Fine Productions. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a computer.

OIDS 2.0 is described as 'melding elements of games like Choplifter, Asteroids, Defender, Lode Runner and Lunar Lander.' When it was first released in 1990, the game earned a five mice rating from Macworld magazine. The last version before this release was 1.4, made back in 1991.
Improvements in OIDS 2.0 include:
Xavagus Prime Software is part-time shareware business created by Kirk Baker, an experienced game programmer with fifteen years of experience (currently looking for work) whose past credits include the original commercial release of OIDS, as well as Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep, Courier Crisis and Beavis and Butthead. He also worked on the CD-ROM and DVD versions of the acclaimed Encyclopedia Britannica. Baker acquired the rights to OIDS, has updated it, and released the game as shareware.

Recently Baker dropped MacCentral a line to let readers know of his new effort. He's proud of his new creation, and said, 'OIDS has turned out really well. It is very smooth on fast Macs even with huge resolutions (one tester reported getting 76 fps at 1920×1600 resolution on a Dual 800 PowerMac G4).'
Baker added that OIDS High Scores list records both all-time and monthly high scores. '… people who aren't OIDS pros can get their scores on the list (at least at the beginning of the month),' he said.
System requirements call for a PowerPC-based Mac (G3 or better recommended) running Mac OS 7.x through Mac OS 9.x. OIDS can run as a Classic application under Mac OS X, but running in Mac OS 9.x is recommended for optimal performance.

When you start up the program you will see four distinct options:
'manual', 'autopilot', 'autopilot-nofuel', and 'autopilot-zero-learningrate'.
- Manual: In this mode, you have the option to try a manual landing the lunar lander.
- Autopilot: In this mode, the lunar lander learns from experience how to land the lunar lander
by simultaneously optimizing two criteria: (i) whether or not the lunar lander successfully lands and the magnitude of the velocity at crash,
and (ii) discover a method for landing the lunar lander so that the lander behavior is slow and smooth rather than fast and bumpy. - Autopilot-Nofuel: In this mode, the lunar lander is provided with no fuel. The purpose of this mode is to demonstrate that without fuel the downward accelerative force on the lunar lander ensures the lunar lander will consistently crash on the lunar surface.
- Autopilot-Zero-LearningRate: In this mode, the lunar lander thrusters are randomly controlled. The purpose of this mode is to show that with a
randomly chosen thruster control law the downward accelerative force on the lunar lander ensures the lunar lander will have difficulty landing safely on the moon.

The mathematical theory (which is relatively advanced) which explains why the lunar lander works is described in this paper which
was presented at the International Conference on Learning Representations Workshop in 2015. Click here to access the mathematical theory paper.

The Lunar Lander Technical notes provide an explicit mathematical description of the algorithms used for the Lunar Lander Software. These notes are currently a little incomplete and may need to be revised. They are an excerpt from a new book that I am currently writing but won't be published for several years.

This is Windows executable code. In order for this to execute you must have already installed the MATLAB Compiler Run-Time Library Installer for Windows Version 2011b. If you have already installed this library, then it is not necessary to re-install the library on your machine. This software is a compiled version of the MATLAB Source Code listed below.

The MATLAB Lunar Lander software requires that you have installed MATLAB on your computer which is a software development environment that can be purchased from: www.mathworks.com. If MATLAB is not installed on your machine, however, you might still want to download the MATLAB software since it provides a technical specification of the Linear Machine Windows and MAC OS-X Executable code as a collection of text files.
