Minimum Requirements

Bacon requires Python 2.7 or later, or Python 3.3 or later. It works with both 32 and 64-bit versions of Python, on recent versions of OS X and Windows as detailed below:

OS X

  • Your game will require OS X 10.6 or later
  • If your game requires an Xbox 360 controller, the user must install an Xbox 360 Game Controller driver , as the device does not register as a game controller by itself.

Windows

  • Your game will require Windows Vista or later

Note

Bacon has not yet been tested on versions of Windows before Windows 7, and may require patches.
