The Machine's Garden (itch) Mac OS
The Quadra 605 is an Apple Macintosh personal computer based on the Motorola 68LC040 CPU released on October 21, 1993 as part of the Quadra series. During development it was code-named “Aladdin” or “Primus”
These might come with a pre-OS X version of Mac OS (Mac OS 7, 8, or 9). Some of the first PowerBook G3 laptops didn’t even include USB, although this is easily fixed with a Cardbus expansion card. I found one on eBay for $10 in the original packaging, with the driver CDs. For an even better bargain, you can buy a “spares or repair” Mac. A new UPS or a used UPS with software and cables that works with Mac OS 9, and new batteries for it; Pocketable 2TB External hard disks for removable backups; The power the machine uses; The machine's portion of my home Internet connection, which is a 'business' connection reasonably suited to this kind of work.
With an elegant, minimalistic design the Quadra 605 is one of the few Macintosh models that does not share a case with another machine. The internal layout and components are identical to the Apple Macintosh Performa/LC 475 and 476. Production of the Quadra 605 was discontinued on October 17, 1994.

TROUBLESHOOTING
- No video on startup: If you hear the startup chord but video never initializes, the logic board battery is probably dead.
- Temporary workaround: Flip the power switch on and then quickly toggle the switch off and then on again. The system should then boot up normally.
- Solution: Replace the logic board battery with a 3.6v 1200mAh 1/2AA lithium battery
- Vertical lines, horizontal lines or snow on video
- Solution 1: Check cable connecting monitor to video port
- Solution 2: Reseat VRAM SIMMs
- Solution 3: Replace VRAM SIMMs

You are a flower having a nightmare where you are chased by hummingbirds who want nothing but to drink all your nectar. Failing to escape them will result in your untimely demise. Do you have what it takes to escape the machine learning hummingbirds?!
This is the second prototype game I developed for EECS 499 at the University of Michigan as a research project. The research project was interested in exploring the application of machine learning in game development. As such, I tried to create a playable game centered around machine learning agents. This prototype game is the end result of what I was able to accomplish in little under a semester's worth of research and development.
