This is a really compelling game! Great work!

So I had a crack at porting your game to macos. [1]

Everything seems to work, except the text/background colour things which depend on some WIN32 stuff.

To make those text/background colours work on platforms other than Windows, ANSI escape codes would have to be used.

Hey man, thank you so much for the kind words! It really made my day. Will rewriting the function I made in "resources.h" (setcolor(), from line 682)[1] using ANSI escape codes do the job?

Yes, exactly.

If you refer to the pull request I opened on your repository, I added a preprocessor conditional in that function for a Windows and non-Windows implementation of the function.

The non-Windows part of the conditional just has to be written.
