TIL that PopCap’s engine was called SexyAppFramework and it’s open source. And everything inside it is prefixed with “Sexy”. SexyString, SEXY_ALLOC_MAP, SexyTrace... It’s certainly of an era, haha.

Popcap was originally named Sexy Action Cool. The name was probably from that era or a callback at the very least.

TIL that as well, it certainly makes the name make more sense!

how far are we from a js/web port?

There used to be a free web version: https://plantsvszombies.fandom.com/wiki/Plants_vs._Zombies_(...

Here is the proper version of the wiki that the community uses (rather than the Fandom version).
