XBill for PalmOS receives an update after 25 years


In the late 90's my SlackWare Linux distribution came bundled with a neat little game called xBill. The goal of the game is to prevent the 'Bills' from spreading Windows to other computing devices.

United States vs Microsoft Corp. on Wikipedia In 1999, a port for Palm OS was released (handsomely named pBill) but unfortunately it refuses to run on any color devices. The game came bundled with the source code, so I spend a couple of my free evenings to create an update, so it run on 'modern' Palm PDA's (you know, the fancy ones that can show colors). To put the cherry on the top, I tweaked the start screen a bit to show off the colors and updated the game's icon to match with the one from the desktop xBill.
