YodaStoriesNG: rebuilding Yoda Stories and Indiana Jones from their data files

YodaStoriesNG reimplements Star Wars: Yoda Stories and Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures in C# and SDL2 using each game's original data file. It parses tiles, zones, puzzles and IACT scripts, reconstructs world generation, and provides script disassembly and other inspection windows. The author reports complete Yoda Stories play and remaining Indiana Jones puzzle gaps.
