Porting Lemmings In 36 Hours

Posted by Soulskill on from the first-in-line dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Aaron Ardiri challenged himself to port his classic PalmOS version of Lemmings to the iPhone, Palm Pre, Mac, and Windows. The porting was done using his own dev environment, which creates native C versions of the game. He liveblogged the whole thing, and finished after only 36 hours with an iPhone version and a Palm Pre version awaiting submission, and free versions for Windows and Mac available on his site."

    I'm getting old. I remember C being regarded as a high level language designed with portability in mind.

    The basic problem is that One person liked Lemmings first... then everybody else followed him!
