Hi Dipankar, What is the purpose of developing an existing game for desktop when there might be a thousand other implementations on desktop for the same game already available?
Can you think of another platform where the game might not be popular like mobile, web, or some other platform. Also, what is the purpose of developing this game: is this for fun, learning, making money, using a new cool technology you learnt or to show off to friends and strangers as part of game development project.
