Very nice to see new PalmOS apps being written, and good job on your strategy game.

I co-authored Warfare Incorporated, an RTS originally on Palm devices, if anyone remembers that. We had to pull out all the stops to get the perf and get it small enough to fit.

Oh cool Warfare Inc, that's quite the impressive game! Definitely remember that, it gets mentioned on the PalmDB discord quite often.

My fav PalmOS game. The OS 5 version is well done in that it properly adjusts to any screen resolution. I often use it to test rePalm builds on new hardware. The OS 4 vesrion was not as well done, so i had to patch it to support Dana widescreen and HE330 HVGA. Patched versions are here: https://palmdb.net/app/warfare-inc

For Dana, it was a simple binary patch. For HE330, a separate hack is needed that I had to write that 'enables Warfare'. Thus I called it "Kissinger"

rePalm and the numerous projects on your home page are quite impressive. Nice to see WI running on it!
