Wondering what I could do with it ... I rewrote Glypha (an old Mac shareware game I wrote) using modern SDL2. Might be fun to try to "back port" (?) it to OS 9 on top of SDL2 (rather than the clunkier CopyBits() calls I used in the original shareware game).

Nice, I hadn't heard about that before. The original Mac game was really fun, but your new Steam version looks way smoother. I like how the UI's like an old B&W Mac UI but with Egyptian touches thrown in. If you don't mind me asking, what was the new version written in (C, C++, something else)? Were you able to reuse any of the logic from the original Pascal version, or was everything more or less done from scratch?
