I am currently working on a cross-platform reimplementation of DOS Lemmings in Rust that reads the original data files and acts as a drop in replacement for the original binary. I have yet to add the actual gameplay, but the interface and the basic engine are now in place and ready for some rodents to move in, so I thought I'd share a few screenshots ;) If you're curious you can find the project at https://github.com/DirtyHairy/rustlings

Progressing towards "playable" ;) Walking, falling and all kinds of "death by terrain" are now working and match frame-to-frame with the original.

After picking up Rustlings again, all skills are now implemented. There still is no checking for game over conditions, and there still are no menus, but all levels are playable. I still want to add a few unit tests for builders, and then I'll put up test builds for MacOS, Linux and Windows that you can try out if you feel adventurous later this week  ;)
