Works OK on Mac OS X (10.9.5) IF you go into the bin directory and launch "sy.jar"... When you start the game Mr. X moves first and you are left to move to catch him.

This works great! It reminds me of playing this with my friends when I was young :)

It’s fun playing; it’s fun hacking. Ideal for programming beginners to get a bit into Java and AI programming.
