Smallwood game engine.
About Dink Smallwood
--------------------
Dink Smallwood is an adventure/role-playing game, similar to Zelda,
made by RTsoft. Besides twisted humour, it includes the actual game
editor, allowing players to create hundreds of new adventures called
Dink Modules or D-Mods for short. The Dink Network
(http://www.dinknetwork.com/) hosts a copy of almost all of them.
GNU FreeDink
------------
GNU FreeDink is a new and portable version of the game engine, which
runs the original game as well as its D-Mods, with close
compatibility, under multiple platforms.
FreeDink can run in 2 modes:
* v1.08 (default): this matches the latest release of the Dink engine,
which includes some new features and some backward-incompatible
changes. Use it for recent D-Mods.
* v1.07 (with option '--v1.07'): this matches v1.07 of the Dink
engine, essentially unmodified since 1998. Use it to play D-Mods
released before 2006.
Next step is extending the engine while preserving accurate support
for released D-Mods.
On the technical level, the internals of the engines experience a
clean-up to allow for portability and later improvements.

Note:
The original game contained sounds that were not owned by RTsoft and
hence could not be released under a free license. We're looking for
free replacements! Please send contributions at bug-freedink()gnu.org.
