He did the macOS port, and has been helping maintain it (and keep
it working on various versions of Apple's OSes... oof)

The Android port uses SDL 2, so there's currently a branch that
keeps things sync'd up.  One day I'll switch entirely over.

It's not in the Play Store, you need to download an APK
like a dirty pirate. *shrug*

Yeah, another fellow (been super helpful and keeping the
torch lit when I'm too busy/distracted to work on the project)
has started work to scale the whole UI up.  Screens got very
high-resolution in the last ~20 years. :-D
