If you send me the source code I could help port it to the Apple II and
(to some extent; it would need Chipmunk BASIC or HyperCard) to Mac.

If you just want suggestions on how to port it, and don't want people
muddling with your code, just change CLS to HOME, ignore COLOR commands
(if they are what I think they are [text color?]), and you should be able
to just type it in to the Apple II and save it. If you use DOS commands it
may get a little more complicated, though.
