    It would be cool to see this simulator released on the Windows Phone 7....

    I am not 100% sure, but I do not think a lot of extra coding will be required.

    Depends on how fast the phone runs, more than code involved.

    All windows phones have the same, or better specs than the iPhone 4 does.

    We would need to really streamline the engine for it to run well.

    This.

    Also, programming for WP7 is done in C# not C++. Not sure how much of a change that is.

    What does C++ have to do with anything?

    I am sure there is a C compiler for PE's and arm out there.

    @Felix
    Should have clarified. Native programming for WP7 is done in C#. From what I have heard WP7 only supports C# but that could be false.

    I found this reply to what code is supported:

    "Officially, only C# is supported so far. Unofficially, any language that can compile to a verifiable managed assembly (the verifiability requirement applies to all dependencies, too!) is good - so you should be able to use e.g. C++/CLI, F#, Delphi Prism..."
