Yup, I decided to actually do this... I didn't get very far before I realised that I had forgotten about everything I ever learned about Direct3D, so I have to read up a bit on the subject. It isn't like I knew that much before either though :)

I also found someone to draw the graphics for the game, which is really good news since I belong to those who can't even draw a straight line on paper... not even with a ruler. Maybe I can trick someone into making some music too? I have ideas... and the person will hear from me sooner or later... ;)

Until next time, keep wishing me good luck with this.. I think I need it...

It was time, after a lot of nagging on others to do a PC conversion of this fabolous game, which didn't lead anywhere, to start thinking of doing it myself. I was really hoping to avoid that, because:

1. I'm a lazy bastard, so I might not ever finish the projects I start

2. I'm afraid that spending time on creating the game will make me go tired of it, which would be sad since it's one of my definitive favourites. By any signs of this I will resign from the project...

3. It is indeed more fun to PLAY the games than to be programming them :)

Anyway, here I am, and I decided to at least try. Sadly for many of you, I have already decided that I will be using DirectX, so it won't be very portable. The final result might work well under WineX, Cedega or similar, though. So here we go... wish me luck :)
