# REGoth: reimplementing the Gothic and Gothic II engine

> REGoth reimplements the zEngine used by Gothic and Gothic II. The reviewed README says the project restarted at REGoth-project/REGoth-bs. This tree's latest tagged Windows and Android builds are version 0.4. git clone --recursive, CMake 3.1 or newer, and a C++14 compiler are required, along with libsndfile. The tested compilers are GCC 6, MinGW, and Visual Studio 2015 or 2017. REGoth -g takes a Gothic I or II installation and -w takes a zen file such as newworld.zen. The binary is in build/bin.
