My old video game from 2004 [1] is now older than I was when I wrote it, and I recently found the C++ source and sprites in one of my archives, so I'm rewriting it in TypeScript as a personal challenge.
The C++ code no longer builds (it's missing proprietary dependencies), and I no longer have the binaries or even the hardware needed to run them (it's a PocketPC game).
If I manage to finish the rewrite, I'll get in touch with the rest of the team, to ask if they'll let me upload it somewhere public.
So far, I'm surprised by how readable my C++ code is. :-)

- throwaway2037 4y agoThe sprites look gorgeous. This could probably make money as a mobile app! Did you consider it?
