through a series of dungeons to defeat the Grand Vizier Jaffar and save
an imprisoned princess.


- why is this package useful/relevant?

There is a active community of people dedicated to preserving and
improving this classic video game.

- is it a dependency for another package?

No, it is a game, and only depends on SDL2.

- do you use it?

Yes.

- if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does
  it compare?

This is one of a kind. :)

- how do you plan to maintain it?

I intend to be a single maintainer. I am an upstream contributor.

- are you looking for co-maintainers?

I am not actively looking, but I wouldn't turn down help. :)

- do you need a sponsor?

Nope.

I don't see how this is possible.

So this is a derivative work of Prince of Persia (the DOS version
apparently), isn't it?

Only the Apple II version seems to have been re-released under a
vaguely free licence, and even that doesn't explicitly allow
redistribution.

Hi Ben,

Why not? There have been all kinds of ports (JS, Roku, etc), and this
one was done explicitly GPL from the start.

It is a reimplementation based on reverse engineering of the DOS binaries.
