This is a fork of Pangea Software’s Bugdom, updated to run on modern operating systems. Named in honor of Pangea Software’s Nanosaur Extreme, a 2002 update of Nanosaur which once did something similar.
Forked from @jorio’s version, at jorio/Bugdom, which is approved by Pangea Software.

Bugdom is a 1999 Macintosh game by Pangea Software. You play as Rollie McFly, a pill bug on a quest to save ladybugs from King Thorax’s iron grip on the Bugdom.
The game was bundled with some Mac models of the era. It is probably the most advanced game that uses QuickDraw 3D. Unfortunately, QuickDraw 3D has not been updated past Mac OS 9, so experiencing the game used to require booting a PowerPC Mac into OS 9 — until @jorio’s port came out.
After @jorio finished porting Nanosaur, Pangea offered to let him port Bugdom. @jorio and I were both excited to update this gem of a game because it was a childhood favorite of ours.
This fork aims to provide the best way to experience Bugdom today. It introduces some modern comforts, fixes some gameplay bugs, and extends the maximum render distance to 6 times that of the original game.
