Pocket Palm Heroes Port

About

A project to bring Palm Heroes / Pocket Heroes back to life by porting the existing C++ sources to Kotlin, using KorGE for drawing, input and builds for different platforms. It is based on the 1.04 beta sources from sigman78/pocketheroes and on a SourceForge Palm Heroes project, both under Apache 2.0. Work started in 2017, and progress is tracked under the repository's Issues.

Getting started

The game can be played online on GitHub Pages. To run it from source, pack the resources with the Gradle packResources task and then start it with the runJvm task; Java must be installed.
