build.rs unpacks the ADF images next to Cargo.toml (or in
SKIDS_EMBED_DIR) with the same ADF/LHA readers the game uses and packs
the files into the executable. At run time the built-in data loads
first and anything given with --data, or found next to the executable,
overrides it. The embed feature is on by default; builds without it
behave as before and ask for --data. CI now runs the binary from an
empty directory.
Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux) engine that plays the original
Amiga data straight from the ADF images:
- ADF (OFS/FFS), LHA and CrunchMania (CrM!/CrM2) readers
- Track decoding: 24 tracks of 1024x512 16-colour planar art, height
maps and lap gates on an isometric ground plane
- Vehicle decoding: 8 cars, 32 headings x 25 tilt frames of 64x32
AGA sprites
- Reconstructed handling, AI, race rules, menus and synthesised sound
(disk 1 with the executable, palettes and audio is not in the set)
- info/extract/bench/trace/render tools, format notes, CI builds
