Tutorial: Fix the issue where the application will not execute on macOS Big Sur

Computer Quest
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

First, to start, ensure that you have Computer Quest installed, extracted, and inside of your Downloads folder. Then, rename (or as of later updates skip this step) the application file so that it does not include any spaces, dots, or parenthesis. (For example, computerquestmacedition.) Next, go to the Computer Quest downloads page. There should be a batch script that you can download, and once you have it downloaded, open a text editor (do not use textedit because it changes the file extension.) Then, in the code where it says USERNAME, change that to whatever you computer username is. Then, save and run the file. If you renamed the application correctly and if you have it in your downloads folder, it should work. Please leave a comment on this devlog if the script is not working for you. The script will be available shortly after this devlog is posted.
