Your First Shelter / Release 55 / macOS

A small beginning.
Bring the Scout home.

Explore the valley, steer the dead-engine Scout downhill and haul it beneath your open shelter with a rope and pulley. Save your progress and return to finish the recovery.

A rough development demo for Apple silicon Macs. The shelter stays put; this release has no construction, powered driving or castle movement. Other Macs and phones are unverified.
