=================================================================================
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.
