If yes then with notepad++ and a great amount of coding knowledge would I be able to make such a program?
A great amount of coding knowledge, and a hell of a lot more than `notepad++`. And, I mean, an entire mobile version of ZC. Feel free to try, ZC is open source, but such a feat would certainly take ME years. So, uh, good fucking luck!

Yeah but when are we getting a graphing calculator port? I wanna play Liberation of Hyrule while doing differential equations so I can get fucked while I get fucked.

Steps to follow:
- Find a C++ complier for your intended platform. You need low-level output.
- Port Allegro 4. May need to write an 8bbp GPU driver or emulation layer along the way.
- Port al_gif.
- Port aldmb.
- Port almp3.
- Port alogg.
- Port alspc.
- Port libdumb.
- Port GME.
- Port libjpegal.
- Port libpng.
- Port loadpng.
- Port pthread.
- Port zlib.
- Compile monolithic allegro libs.
- Build the Allegro 4 test utis and ensure that they work.
- Port flex.
- Port bison.
- Compile flex and bison bins.
- Port the ZC source itself, correcting type sizes and anything that your compiler finds illegal.
- Create a platform-specific makefile with linking appropriate to your ports of all of the above.
- Compile bins of ZC/ZQ.
- Debug them for the platform.
- Write a new library to interface the platform-specific UI elements and touchscreen interface that is compatible with ZC and ZQ.
- Update your makefies to include it.
- Rewrite the ZC and ZQ UI for touchscreens.
- Repeat this if you want both Android and iOS. Probably again when they make a major OS/API change.
- Expect zero help along the way from anyone at all.

That sounds like a lazy afternoon's work. I expect he'll have it fully bugtested in a week.

That's okay by me. Good luck, you'll need it!
