Fallout 2 Community Edition: a cross-platform Fallout 2 reimplementation

Fallout 2 Community Edition reimplements Fallout 2 as a cross-platform game engine that uses data from the player's own copy. The C++ source includes combat, art, audio, and interface components; the project adds engine fixes and quality-of-life changes while retaining the original gameplay.
