skcollectioncport: Sonic & Knuckles Collection rebuilt in C

skcollectioncport reconstructs the Windows game Sonic & Knuckles Collection as C and C++ source. It covers player and character objects, per-zone objects, the game, opening and stage-select modes, save data, collision and scrolling, map and sprite-pattern tables, and a Win32 front end whose functions are decompiled from the PC executable by address, including the software VDP renderer, sound, registry and controller handling.
