This is a reverse engineered game engine that allows you to play Another World
(aka Out Of This World) without emulation on multiple platforms via SDL.

You will need the DOS version of "Out Of This World" extracted into the same
directory as the executable.

AmigaOS4 port:

- Stability fix
- Additional keys
  F12    = Toggle fullscreen
  LShift = Run / Shoot
  ESC    = Quit game

Check the original readme below for other controls.

Known issues:

 - After using an Alt+<Key> combination, the engine may act as if the Alt key
   is still held down. Press Alt+Ctrl or LAlt+RAlt afterwards to fix this.

   Alternatively, release Alt the instant the other key is pressed.

 - You might not be able to jump while running if you use Space to run. Use
   the LShift or Enter key to run, instead.

 - Increasing the window size via the hotkeys might cause a DSI.

=== Original README follows ===


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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About:
------

raw is a re-implementation of the engine used in the game Another World. This 
game, released under the name Out Of This World in non-European countries, was 
written by Eric Chahi at the beginning of the '90s. More information can be 
found here : http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,564/.

Please be aware that, currently, this implementation may contains bugs and 
non-implemented features that make it impossible to finish the game.

Supported Versions:
-------------------

Currently, only the english PC DOS version is supported ("Out of this World").

Here are the various in game hotkeys :
    Arrow Keys      allow you to move Lester
    Enter/Space     allow you run/shoot with your gun
    C               allow to enter a code to jump at a specific level
    P               pause the game
    Alt X           exit the game
