## What it is
Fallout Community Edition is a fully working open-source re-implementation of the original Fallout (1997) engine in C++ using SDL2, with bugfixes and quality-of-life improvements. It runs on modern platforms but requires the user to own the original game assets.

## Use cases
- play Fallout 1 on Linux, macOS, or Android
- run the original Fallout natively on Apple Silicon
- replace falloutw.exe with a modern drop-in executable
- play Fallout with widescreen and quality-of-life fixes
- build the Fallout engine from source for modding

## When to choose
- you own the original Fallout and want it to run hassle-free on a modern OS
- you want native Apple Silicon or Android support
- you want engine bugfixes and QoL improvements while keeping original gameplay

## When to avoid
- you don't own the original game assets - they are required
- you want Fallout 2 (use fallout2-ce instead)
- you want a remaster with new graphics or content
