You wanted to know how to program for the Dingoo A320 and maybe other do also so below is a link to the SDK for Dingoo A320 http://a320.freeforums.org/s2dsdk-installation-guide-t299.html Joe and Everyone,

I think BSD, Amiga, smartphones, Opensolaris, etc. Don't count as platforms then. Nah, Just kidding. Great job with that game. Every single platform avaiable, right?

Please tell me that was a joke. After all the work I put into it making it available for every frickin platform out there please tell me you're joking and you're not just ignorant of everything that I've done for you.

Adobe has a library for turning C programs into flash games. It's been used for Doom and various roguelikes, and Peter Nitche, the master of text mode alchemy, and I are going to bring ASCIIpOrtal to a browser with a number of updates and improvement. The reason there isn't already an ASCIIpOrtal online is that Peter discovered Alchemy has a problem with strings, and ASCIIpOrtal uses lots of strings. However, I'm gonna pop the hood, write the strings out, and add a few things. It's coming, but don't hold your breath. Alchemy.

I have almost no programming knowledge, so I have no idea if this is feasible or not, but since Joe was kind enough to give the source away, would it be possible for a Flash version of ASCIIpOrtal to ever exist? That would massively expand the audience, and this game deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. It's an entirely different beast than Portal: The Flash Version, and in my opinion, a much more interesting one. I’d also love to see a video on how the math works.

I'm a maths nerd so I realise probably in the minority, but my feeling is anyone can do a walkthrough video - I'm sure there will be plenty on youtube in a few weeks - but an explanation of how the guts of the game works is something that only Joe is in a position to do right now.

I don't know if I could keep your attention for a whole hour, but I might be able to do a walk though one time of the 50 original levels. Was gonna let things settle a bit first, let folks actually play the game before I show them how to beat it. Should be about a half-hour, tho, which would mean I'd have to gamerdrome it. The other option is I was planning on doing a 10 minute video explaining the math of how I got that view to work. Which would you all rather see? Heh, seriously, thanks.
