    Re-code a dizzy clone

    I know Dizzy was coded in assembely Language on the amstrad when I had it, but id love to write a clone of it in my own time. My one question is this:

    Is it possible to re-write a dizzy game clone in C or C++?

    I know the graphics used back then were very basic, green, red, blue and yellow was the limit for the game I think. I am writing some notes at the moment on my plans and ideas. but I thought to myself can this really be re-written a higher level language?

    Thanks for any replys guys

    Today's PC are what - 1000x more powerful than an 8 bit amstrad?

    Yeah, I'd say it was possible.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
