8 | This is "Fabother World": an Another World (Out Of This World in North America) interpreter codebase. This work is based on: | ||
9 | |||
10 | - Piotr Padkowski's newRaw interpreter which was based on | ||
11 | - Gregory Montoir's reverse engineering of | ||
12 | - Eric Chahi's assembly code. | ||
13 | |||
14 | I cleaned up a lot of the code, removing cryptic hexadecimal notation | ||
15 | with meaningful macros name. I also cleanup a lot of the code so it has a | ||
16 | C/C++ philosophy instead of an assembly structure. | ||
17 | |||
18 | I also created a Visual Studio 2010 project. | ||
19 | |||
20 | TODO: | ||
21 | |||
22 | Create a MacOS X project. | ||
23 | Add a different rendering path OpenGL support. | ||
