Glassline: a port of Mirror's Edge for iPad

Glassline ports the 2010 iPad release of Mirror's Edge to Linux, Windows, Steam Deck, Android and browsers. Its code was reconstructed from the iPad executable, with SDL2, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and FFmpeg replacing iOS services; it loads assets from the user's game copy and adds a launcher, network play and replacement online services.
