Planet M.U.L.E.

I just got an iPad and, to my surprise, my favorite use is playing same-device multiplayer games with my friends and family. I'd love to have a version of M.U.L.E. for it! I'm a developer, so I'm willing to write it myself. That's not that hard to do in terms of graphics (obviously) but replicating the game logic of the original is rather daunting. So....

I see that the Bunten family has a website up (http://www.ozarksoftscape.com). Has anyone contacted them about the possibility of getting the original source code?

Failing that, is there any chance I could get a copy of Planet M.U.L.E.'s source, if I ask very nicely (pretty please!) and promise not to distribute it? Even if it was just the modules relevant to the game logic, that would be a huge head start.

Unlikely because you'd have to rewrite all of it in Objective C.  However, an android port should be very obtainable.

Hi Mule Fans.  It is true...there is finally a authorized mobile version of M.U.L.E. being released this summer - We are shooting for August 2012.   Development is still underway, but you can visit www.MuleReturns.com for a sneek peak at characters and happenings.  Follow updates on twitter andf facebook too.  Feel free to contact Ozark Softscape Legacy at melaniebuntenstark@yahoo.com and thank you for your continued faithfulness to M.U.L.E.

Thank you thank you thank you, Melanie, I can't believe it.... FINALLY!!!!! M.U.L.E. on my iPad... that is awesomely exciting news!!!!! I've been waiting decades to be able to play mule on a handheld device. BTW I love the design of the mulereturns site and the screenshots.

So, THOSE are the real shapes the Spheroid and Leggite were supossed to have in the original game? I can die happy now. :P Thanks.
