- matheweis 11y agoNot likely at all. It heavily depends on some ancient Apple APIs. That being said, it's a 20 year old game and works just fine under some of the better simulators (aka Basilisk and Sheepshaver - both of which work well in Linux).
- i336_ 11y agoI can't even figure out what language it's in, and GitHub can't either, but it's definitely nothing I've seen before. I think that answers your question. The code would necessarily be a full rewrite. All this would be good for would maybe be official asset sources... but then I've seen other people mention that they've reimplemented the game by just taking screenshots, so maybe not.
- Kristine1975 11y agoI can't even figure out what language it's in Glider Pro is written in C (.c files), Glider 4 in Pascal (.p files). Github gets confused by the resource files, which are data files in a specific format used by Mac OS Classic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork
