OpenDriverEngine: a shared engine reconstruction for Driver 1 and 2

OpenDriverEngine is a C++ project to run Driver 1 and Driver 2 content through a shared engine. Its TODO list marks LEV level, texture and model loading, Driver 2 physics, and a decompiled reimplementation of Driver 1 car cosmetics as done. The README specifies content conversion and Lua game logic as project goals.
