I'm not saying it wouldn't take up to a year to complete; I know better than to be so silly. However, I do think it would be easier to make than Aleph One was. If I'm wrong, please tell me, but I still think a port of PiD would be fairly simple (comparatively speaking) to create.

Well, to be honest, I actually am planning to make my own game for the iPad someday with the help of Corona SDK, so I guess that sort of counts, somehow. Still, I have a lot on my mind between now and then, so don't expect to see any results on it any time soon.
