SDLPAL is an SDL-based cross-platform reimplementation of the classic Chinese RPG Legend of Sword and Fairy (PAL), written in C. It requires the original game's proprietary resource files to play and runs on desktop, mobile, and web browsers.
Use cases
- play the classic Chinese RPG PAL on modern platforms
- run Legend of Sword and Fairy on Linux, macOS, or Android
- play PAL in a web browser with original game data
- port a classic DOS-era RPG to mobile devices
- study how a classic RPG engine is reimplemented in C
When to choose
- you own the original PAL game data files and want to play them on modern hardware
- you need a cross-platform (desktop, mobile, web) engine for the original game
- you want an open-source reference implementation of the PAL game engine
When to avoid
- you don't have the original game's resource files, which are proprietary and sold separately
- you want a modern RPG or new game content - this only replays the original game
- you need a general-purpose game engine for building your own games
