The motivation comes from the fact that [BloodGDX][1], the current +recommended source port for Blood, is nonfree and written in Java. Additionally, +other source ports such as [EDuke32][2] are built upon Ken Silverman's codebase, +which is full of DOS-era optimizations like self-modifying code and a generous +amount of globally-shared state. They're also subject to the restrictions of the +BUILD license. # Roadmap -- [ ] Implement usable parsers for the various Build engine formats. - - [x] Implement a GRP loader. - - [ ] Implement a MAP parser. - - [ ] Implement an ART parser. - - [ ] Implement a VOX parser. - - [ ] Implement a PALETTE.DAT parser. - - [ ] Implement a TABLES.DAT parser. +- [ ] Implement support for GRP archives. + - [x] GRP parser. + - [x] Caching system. + - [ ] Proper path resolution. +- [ ] Implement a timer. +- [ ] Implement support for ART bitmaps. + - [ ] PALETTE.DAT parser. + - [ ] ART parser. + - [ ] Efficient ART-to-bitmap conversion. +- [ ] Implement support for Build's MAPs. + - [ ] MAP parser.
