Some obvservations:

• This appears to be a straight port from the original C source[1] to JS (it's in plaintext, so you can have a look.)

• As such, it's look and feel is more faithful to the original than the native iOS port, which is partly based on a GPL port[2], has high(er) resolution graphics from yet another port and is missing some things from the PC version (tally screen, the "Yeah!" scene when you escape from the castle.)

IMHO the second link is an excellent read in itself.
