Hi Will,

In theory yes. Unfortunately, I just got done talking to Justin about
that very issue and unfortunately he says he no longer has the source
code to any of the programs on the Blindsoftware.com site. That means
although it would be nice to port these games to Mac OS, the Apple
iPhone, and other such devices a developer such as myself would
literally have nothing to start with or use as a basis of comparison.
The games would have to be rewritten from the ground up anyway to run
on Mac OS or iOS, but there is critical information in the source code
like the timers, hit point information, scoring for the various enemy
ships, and so on that would now have to be reinvented from scratch as
well. So I think it would probably be a better idea in the long run
just to write a new Space Invaders clone for those platforms than to
try and recreate Classic Troopenum or Troopenum 2.0.

Cheers!
