=================================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is "Fabother World": an Another World (Out Of This World in North America) interpreter codebase. This work is based on:
|
|
|
|
- Piotr Padkowski's newRaw interpreter which was based on
|
|
- Gregory Montoir's reverse engineering of
|
|
- Eric Chahi's assembly code.
|
|
|
|
I cleaned up a lot of the code, removing cryptic hexadecimal notation
|
|
with meaningful macros name. I also cleanup a lot of the code so it has a
|
|
C/C++ philosophy instead of an assembly structure.
|
|
|
|
I also created a Visual Studio 2010 project.
|
|
|
|
TODO:
|
|
|
|
Create a MacOS X project.
|
|
Add a different rendering path OpenGL support.
