Developer David Burela ported "Canabalt," a popular game for the iPhone and iPad, to Windows using Project Islandwood.
Microsoft's iOS bridge, Project Islandwood, is a great tool for porting iOS apps to Windows 10 phones, tablets , and PCs. However, like all great tools, it has had its share of critics. But the developer had no trouble porting "Canabalt," a popular game for iPhone and iPad, to Windows using Project Islandwood.
In a post, Burela describes Islandwood as a "perfect tool" and shows how easy and fast it is, as he managed to complete this task in five minutes.
"Today I wanted to show you how easy it is to take an iOS game and port it straight to a Windows 10 UWP app," he wrote in the post. "I'm porting the classic game Canabalt which was originally an online flash, which then became an iPhone game."
