I believe there was already a topic , similar to this one , but I could be wrong.
For making the app , it could be something very challenging to do, yet interesting nonetheless. But without the source code, doing anything to further game's development could be challenging .... ( I could be wrong about this , but throwing darts in the dark here ).
I thought a some point, someone had gotten it to work on Tablet, but I don't know how well it worked. And I have no idea where the link to that post is anyway...But yes, it is an interesting idea indeed.
