      3# OpenKingdoms - from-scratch open-source engine for Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
    
      4# (Cavedog, 1999), written in C11. Native Linux build against the system SDL2,
    
      5# so nothing is bundled. The engine ships no game content and never will: it
    
      6# reads the original .hpi archives, which the user supplies from their own copy
    
      7# (GOG Total Annihilation Commander Pack, or the original CDs).
    
      8#
    
      9# Point the engine at your copy with --game-dir, or export TAK_GAME_DIR.
    
      10# The folder is remembered after the first run.
    
      11#
    
      12# This is the stable package, built from the latest released tag. For the
    
      13# development version built from git HEAD, use openkingdoms-git.
