Daestrum Expert Licensed User Longtime User Aug 2, 2026 #1 Now the hot weather here is abating; I can finally use my PC that I bought over a month ago. So far, all its done is set up Windows and apply some updates. I picked the worst time (before heatwave) to buy it. Not sure what to try first on it - programming wise. Any suggestions?

BlueVision Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 5, 2026 #7 Are you really looking for a new project, Daestrum? I’d love to play that old game on Android – it’s just an idea I’ve had. There’s a Windows version on Steam that’s very close to the old C64/ATARI 8-bit game… I’ve just been chatting to Colin Evans about it. It’s a real challenge to somehow adapt the entire control scheme for the Android touchscreen and perhaps give the graphics a bit of a polish too, without straying too far from the original. The game may be very old, but you shouldn’t underestimate it. At higher levels, it’s a very challenging airport tower simulation.

I think it’s going to be tricky with the emulation, and so far I haven’t found a really usable core that works even remotely satisfactorily.
