The core game code could be rewitten in C++, for example, and
practically work on any platform with a suitable compiler - it's the
'little' bits that handle putting sprites on screen, reading the
keyboard and playing sound that cause problems. (Okay, it could be
written in C but I find C, especially other people's C, so hideous that
I have a tendency to wretch at the very thought.)

Carl.
