A Palm OS clone of Lemmings by Aaron Ardiri is available as a GitHub project that packages the game’s source, assets and build artifacts for study and use. The tree contains folders for compiled binaries, images, level packs, source code (src and src_levels) and supporting tools, plus a README and screenshots. The project has 50 commits, 78 stars and 12 forks, and a short note that the source is provided “as-is for educational purposes.” The content shows a complete port/clone of classic Lemmings gameplay adapted to Palm OS constraints rather than a mere demo.
The materials matter for anyone interested in retro game porting, Palm OS development, or how Lemmings’ mechanics were implemented on limited handheld hardware: the source code, level data and tools let a developer inspect level formats, game logic, asset handling and build steps, and the compiled output and screenshots let testers run or emulate the game. There’s no prominent permissive license indicated beyond the “educational” disclaimer, so reuse should be approached cautiously. Overall this is a practical reference and working example for developers studying game implementation on older mobile platforms.
