FA Remastered: rebuilding the Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance engine

FA Remastered reimplements the Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance engine in C++ around the user's game data, Lua scripts and mods. It provides a multithreaded simulation, renderer and interface, and compares replay states beat by beat with the original. The author reports identical results for sixteen test replays; local skirmishes are playable.
