1st I am not sure if this should be here or in the development thread. Sorry if this is in the wrong place and feel free to move it.

I was thinking today about how good it would be to play to lemmings natively on my N900 (I'm sure I could play through an emulator or dosbox but it isn't the same). I then thought that maybe this would be a great opportunity for me to learn something...

I have no real experience in developing anything; a little bit of VB I learnt from a book a few years ago, a little look at the SDK and a go at forking and compiling wOOts rotation daemon, but I am sure with some help I will be able to do something.

I have looked on-line for an open source lemmings and found pingus which I think would be perfect so I have downloaded the source code to my ubuntu VM.

My plan was to move them from here to scratch box and compile it to see what happened but I realised that I do not know how I would move things into from ubuntu to scratchbox so thought I could upload the source to git, the fork it to scratchbox but that is where I got stuck. I have no idea how to commit the source to git.

I am hoping a kind soul on here will be willing to guide me through what needs to be done to get pingus working or at the very least throw some links at me with info on where to start,

Edit: I have the source code in scratchbox now but am struggling to compile it.
