Does OP know about

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection?

Note that their goal is to master programming on a new platform, not just to play it in a browser.

That puzzle pack uses GTK too, porting them to Carbon or whatever API Mac OS 9 uses wouldn't be too difficult with some libre SDK targetting OS9.

Also, this guy has a Classic Mac tool sw "runner" a la Wine:

Forked, that's true, but that's the best Ardi Executor fork by a mile.

Writing a Mac application in GTK is, again, not conducive to the goal of learning to program a new platform. Wrappers such as GTK around native objC, Cocoa, and Swift are a distraction from the main purpose of learning those things.

No, I didn't mean to GTK, but for Carbon or whatever API Mac OS used. The game is already on GTK and JS, so it would be easily portable as they are really simple games (they have even an Android port).
