I want to use Construct 2 but as far as I can see, it isn't compatible with Mac. What can I do?

Run it with bootcamp or parallels, and accept the limitations that come with that, or wait for C3, which is rumored to be cross-platform.

I bought Parallels to run Windows 8 and C2 on my mac. It works really well. It's probably cheaper to buy Parallels and a copy of Windows 8 than buying a Windows PC, and it saves you the heartaches that come with owning a PC.

Also, when Windows 10 comes out, it's a free upgrade. PC user's can thank Apple for that.

Still $100 cheaper to buy Parallels and Windows 8.1 than buying a used PC. And you can easily run Linux, Android, and other operating systems too. Use the money left over to buy GTA V or maybe preorder the new Steam Machine.

(Considering your Mac isn't too old)

My Mac won't handle the Construct 2 sadly.

I followed this post and I now have Construct2 running on Windows 7 on my macbook pro (El Capitan OS). It took me about 3 hours (I'm not particularly tech savvy). http://pixelles.ca/blog/2014/09/install ... -2-on-macs.

Cost? Â£20 for a windows 7 licence.

5 years on still no problems. Can't wait to be able to run Construct natively though when C3 comes out.

If you can't afford a virtual machine like VMware or Parallels then you can always install Bootcamp on your mac, but you will still need a copy of Windows. You can then choose to load up windows instead of osx.

If you look carefully, there are two Parallel lines on the Construct 2 logo. This means he is using the Parallels desktop, a Mac/Windows virtual machine. It was not downloaded on the Mac itself

Construct 3 now works on Mac without any need for a VM.
