# ReFlood: reconstructing the Amiga game Flood in C and SDL2

> ReFlood reconstructs the Amiga game Flood as a C99 program with an SDL2 host, using assets extracted from the player's own disk image. Its reports map the game's custom disk layout and document behavior recovered from the original, while the build also offers a headless core and a level editor.
