    Almost sounds like it would be better to start from scratch.

    I doubt it. Lack of documentation??

    Besides, well-written code doesn't need much documentation.
    And from the c++ code I looked at,
    the DirectInput code has been abstracted,
    which should simplify porting a great deal.

    Programming controllers on linux isn't difficult; The joystick driver isn't that hard, and SDL makes it even simpler.

    From the site:

    You are in a city full of thousands of pedestrians, you have exactly one bullet, and you have to find and kill a single unique fugitive.

    This game was byfar the most enjoyable out of the bunch.

    The use of sonar to find your enemy is brilliant! I tell you: Polish this baby up and you've got gold! (This is not a guarantee.)
