Because everybody advises you to try examples to increase your skill
and understanding, I would like to port or rewrite one of my favorite
Mac OS 9 games to Mac OS X.
I don't think it's a good idea to learn an environment by porting
something from elsewhere. This way, you will try to pull OS 9 coding
strategies over to OS X. They are different.
The game is shareware and therefor I wrote to the developers for the
course code but I got my email back with the message it couldn't be
delivered and the website doesn't function anymore, so I think the
company doesn't exist anymore.
That's fine. Really.
I'd lurk through all the examples OS X developer tools provide you,
fire up a new project and start writing the app from scratch. Cocoa is
the recommended API for new applications.
Try not to remodel every tiny detail but to make the game work like a
OS X app is expected to work according to the current Human Interface
Guidelines and the functionality Cocoa provides you (which fits
together). Well designed, you can do this with very few lines of code.
Have fun,
Markus
