Arcanum project: porting the game to iOS and macOS

The project ports the game to iOS and macOS with a C++ and Metal renderer that loads tile .art files extracted from the user's original game into an Arcanum Revitalized folder. Its current build renders the crash-sector terrain and a moving player character on physical iOS devices.
