Fs2_Open is a source port of the critically acclaimed game Freespace 2 released in 1999 by Interplay Entertainment, developed by Volition Inc.
Since the source code became public by the developer the community made a huge effort in bringing it to Linux and Mac OS X, and to support more advanced features that the technology of the time back in 1999 did not allow the game to have. Features like bump-mapping, advanced lighting effects, and improved sound.

To take advantage of the new features, the game should be launched with additional parameters which should be dynamic - i.e. would be read by analysing each updated version of the executable.
I created the Launcher for OS X which served as a companion to the Fs2_Open executable that does exactly that, and constructs its user interface based on the features of each version of FS2_Open executable.

This allowed the user to take advantage of Fs2_Open's new capabilities and improve the player's experience.
