Is anyone working on a SMS Attack of the Petscii Robots port?

I know a bunch of platforms are getting ports of the game and the author is giving out the source code freely, just curious if anyone is tackling that project or not? | |

I dont think that he is giving "freely" the source code. He is taking the control about releases of game.
So: 1 - You can ask for port it; 2- He will do a agreement with you and will give the source code; 3 - You will must return to him the game finished; 4 - He will turn it commercial via cartridges or virtually. |

Well, now the author uploaded the source code here:
https://github.com/zeropolis79 Unfortunately, there is not a source code for ZX version that is more close to our SMS, so somebody interested will have of port it from 6502. Edit: There is a Z80 source code from C128 but i dont know how much it is close to Sega 8 bit. |

The C128 has both a 6502 and a z80, but, since the port was based on the C64 versio, it uses 6502 assembly. An alternative would be to use the Amiga an/or SDL versions as starting points, since they are made in C (obviously, the graphics routines would have to be rewritten from scratch, no matter what). |

That repository must be the author of those ports. The author of the game is David Murray who lives in Texas (in the USA). David just made a long video on his youtube channel ("The 8-bit Guy") announcing he's basically done with the game. IIRC he said he might be willing to do a little bit of bug checking but he's otherwise not interested in new ports. |
