Building Principia for Windows XP

This is super cool! I admire those who make the effort to keep their software running on old unsupported OSs. There's a thriving community of new and existing XP users and I don't see it going away despite it being out of support for over a decade. It's one of the last great Windows versions and its long life ensured a huge software catalog is available for exploring, now including Principia.

Legacy Update basically solves every post install update/driver issues

Excellent write-up. Does anyone have the source of the background image shown in the last screenshot?

How on earth have I missed the existence of this physics game for the last 12 years!? It even has the option to play levels directly in the browser!

but what IS principia?

There's w64devkit too. Ah, well, mentioned.
