Is this (at least planned to be) actively maintained? #61

Hi!

I wanted to try and play SC2K on my computer, but the old version doesn't run well under a modern OS. I looked to see if there are any open source engines and came across this. However, it seems to not have much progress (at least that's what the README.md file claims). Is this maintained somewhere else? If not, are there any plans to maintain this?

Thanks for your time!

Probably not any time soon unfortunately, my day job and personal life are pretty busy so I haven’t had any time to devote to this.

You could give SC2000X a try, it should get it working on a newer machine: https://github.com/alekasm/SC2000X

Thanks a lot for responding!

I see. Sorry to hear your schedule is that busy, but it's understandable. Good luck!

Also @dfloer I checked out your SC2K-docs, great work! And thanks for directing me to SC2000X!

I was prepared that I might hear this answer, so actually I decided maybe I could take a spin at reversing and reimplementing the engine (or at least the parts that I can) myself. If you're fine with this, could I please get some tips on how you started reimplementing the game for this project? I'm not quite sure where to start, I have a Ghidra project set up and I'm just looking for the engine entry point as I type this, but maybe there's a better way.

Again, thank you for responding and have a great day!
