TMNF Android native port: reconstructing TrackMania Nations Forever for Android

TMNF reconstructs parts of TrackMania Nations Forever 2.11.11 as a native Android 15 game using behavior and data recovered from the Windows executable. Its C++ core reads GBX and NadeoPak files, rebuilds campaign tracks and collision scenes, and drives vehicle simulation and a recovered camera from user-supplied game data.
