OMK: reconstructing the Omikron game engine

OMK reimplements the engine of Omikron: The Nomad Soul in C++20 using files from a user's game copy. Its documentation records asset formats, the script VM and game state, while the engine covers opening sequences, city exploration, menus and combat; the author reports that a cold-start event trace matches all 42 recorded original events.
