Tutankhamun

C reimplementation of Impressions' Pharaoh with the Cleopatra expansion (version 2.1) that aims for identical game logic and save compatibility, running on SDL2 with the player's own game files. Built as a reference for the Akhenaten project; CI builds are available but there are no tagged releases, and binaries are AGPL-3.0 because of code from Julius and Akhenaten.
