Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Requesting apps: Part 1 - Beginners development and packing.

After reading though all the requested applications here, one thing strikes me.

Why?!!

ISTM that the majority of applications requested are open source, in which case surely anyone can make an application portable?

That's the whole, key, SELLING POINT of opensource software! (That it's available to anyone to improve!)

But then I looked at the "Development" section with a view to helping out...

Surely the process could all be explained a bit better?

wxDev-C++ lets you develop easily cross platform applications, with a good toolkit to build GUI (Graphical User Interface).

if someone can make this portable app, i will be really grateful.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in working on this. I know there is LinCity out there, but for me it's just not the same.

Program: Micropolis
License: GPL
Description: It's SimCity 'Classic' renamed

Other: Electronic Arts donated SimCity to One Laptop Per Child and released the source code.
