Advice on general approaches or feasibility and discussions about game design

I have had my GameBuino for a while now, and am running out of games to play. I think it would be awesome to make a Spelunky remake on the GameBuino! Im not sure if this would even be possible, but I may or may not be able to do the art/graphics for this project. There could be some problems with the copyright or something, but never the less I would love to see this on the GameBuino. Once again I am not capable of coding the game, so someone else will have to do that. Thanks for reading this Stupid Person's idea

Well, at the stage of development, my game Slasher could easily become this. This does not mean that I will, but it is a better idea than being a serial killer.
The only thing to be factored is resolution.
What size shall the player be?
I'll have to measure it to the regular Spelunky.
Also, I believe the name should be "Caverns". It sounds cool, and it fits the size restriction of the files (8 letters, plus 4 for .hex).

The name sounds awesome! much better than SpelunkyBuino. I'm not sure exactly what size the player will be, but I got my inspiration,
and maybe you could too from this twitter post.

(Btw you might be able to find some stuff out with the google chrome game Spelunky HTL5 sizes layout ex.)

The resolution seems to be 10.5 by 7 blocks, which doesn't match either the Gameboy or Gamebuino.
84 / 48 = 1.75 (the ratio of the Gamebuino screen)
10.5 / 7 = 1.5 (the on-screen blocks ratio)
To make the blocks the same size, there would be 8.4*4.8Blocks on screen at a time, not ideal for Spelunky, which relies both on width and height to help the player.
But it can maybe work with blocks that are 8*8 in size.
10.5*6 is pretty good,let's shoot for that.
(That reminds me, I need to put the Arduino IDE on my PC AGAIN)
