Related: Aerofoil is an updated port of Glider Pro: https://github.com/elasota/Aerofoil

Additional binaries are available here (Win, Mac, Android): https://galeforcegames.itch.io/aerofoil

And a Linux Flatpak version is coming soon... https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/10703

And yes, it includes the Room Editor! (For those who care, it's also human-created from the original source code.)

Good reminder to play Aerofoil. I starred the repository a while ago and forgot about it. By chance, I never played that much Glider PRO, which I know is the more popular game with more houses.

I liked the Flash version of Glider PRO made by Mark Arenz in 2006, which the developer put on GitHub a few years ago (without source): https://github.com/markarenz/rid-flash-archive. Worth a try to see how close it got as a 2000s Flash game. Wikipedia used to say this:

> In 2006, Mark Arenz teamed up with Calhoun to construct a version of Glider PRO built in Adobe Flash.[citation needed]

I wonder if it's true.

John Calhoun confirmed in a DM he didn't collaborate on the Flash game. He also pointed out there was an NES homebrew:
