   @lebronjames75 Good mod.
   One of my students last year did an illegal port to android of this game.

     @lebronjames75 Oh absolutely. He did it for fun, trying to learn android stuff. Had several iterations of improvements including cutting the game down to smaller chunks because some areas would otherwise completely freeze the phone and making it work with both a virtual joystick on the touchscreen and with bluetooth/usb keyboard and gamepad.
     
     He didn't distribute it past sharing it with friends and classmates IRL to test the coop. Even if there was some copyright claim, I think he's in a grey area at worst, since while he had no permission, he did it for educational purposes while at tech school and being a minor, so any court would quickly drop the case.
     
     I like the guy, he's no genius but out of his class he tried the hardest to understand everything, started out with really bad grades but spent hours asking questions until he passed the class. I think he'll do fine.
     
     Once he's an adult I hope he can work out something with the devs to get paid for making the port to be distributed legally.

     @nerthos thats quite lovely i think
     if he wasnt actively malicious with it (selling that content for money 100% into his own pocket(s) or anything worse), then i think his action is fully support worthy
     
     copyright legality aside
