Angry Birds ARM64: reconstructing the Angry Birds 1.4.2 Android runtime

Angry Birds ARM64 rebuilds the native runtime of Angry Birds 1.4.2 for AArch64 Android devices so the game's Lua logic can run with locally supplied game data. The work uses ARMv7 runtime analysis and behavioral comparisons to reconstruct rendering, input, physics bridges, audio, persistence and Android lifecycle services.
